On a national level, CYA is now developing new chapters, in addition to its existing ones at Harvard, Yale, Duke and Penn. By the end of the academic year, CYA hopes to expand its reach to a total of 10 college campuses nationwide.
Spring plans for the Penn chapter, which is headed by Gruskin and College freshmen Mike Tully and Caroline Matthews, include a "Fiscal Wake-Up Tour" and a spring fair, which the group hopes to host at the Philadelphia Convention Center.
The CYA executive director is pledging the Phi Delta Theta fraternity and playing club lacrosse this spring, but the national debt crisis is what he thinks about most - perhaps the reason a friend created the "Yoni 2028" Facebook group, with 191 proponents of Gruskin's eventual move to the White House.
"We're not dealing with the sexiest topic or the most inspiring topic, but we're sure that we're dealing with the most crucial topic for our generation," Gruskin said.
"For us this isn't just about raw numbers," he added. "It's about our future."

Wall Street has always meant very little to me (and hundreds of others I know). It represents a means for investors to get richer (or poorer) as a hobby, and for corporations to generate lots of dollars to grow on invested funds. (Continued…)
