1 - Not My Generation - Geriatric Government

Dr. Stacey and Professor Davenport discuss the implication of a Congress and the leading presidential candidates that are significantly older than the people they represent. How does this age difference impact the policies coming out of Washington, DC? How can younger voters gain more representation? Why don't young citizens vote at the same rates as older voters, and will that change? And who does Dr. Stacey tell to "Go live in Russia?" It's a lively and entertaining discussion about the importance of political participation and the differences between generations.
