WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- If you pay taxes, would you believe your share of the national debt is $141,000? That money is what all taxpayers owe -- individually -- as part of the more than $16 trillion in debt the nation has currently rung up. It's only going to get worse unless something is done about it.

Nick Troiano is field director of TheCanKicksBack.org. The website aims to inform millennials about their future in the red. 

Troiano joined us on Monday morning and said, "Every time Washington kicks the can down the road, they're really kicking our generation so it's time for millennials to kick back and demand a solution."

See him talk about what he calls "the largest issue facing our generation" in our interview above.
