One of the issues I see is that teens usually don't think about the future, and that is bad if you think that they are the future... does this make sense?

Is short-term thinking a problem limited to teenagers? It seems even more problematic in adults who wield the power and from what I've seen short-term thinking is very prevalent at any age group in humans.

Lets put it this way - we should probably be using the term long term thinker instead of short term thinker from a compression standpoint

The ones getting shat on for taking student loans are long term thinkers relatively speaking - and also illustrate that it doesn't always work out.
