Anyone else around my age group (18-23) give me blank stares when I mention things like Tea Party, subprime meltdown, foreclosure, general elections, financial statement, gold standard, etc. So what would be a normal conversation topic for people around my age?

You don't hang around nerds like I often do, lol. If I'd mention these things, they'd explain it to me in full, then wonder why I brought it up.
But in your case, I can imagine that your friends aren't up to date on American history (Tea Party), since I don't think you're in America. If you have all those other issues in your country, then I'm not really sure why they don't know, unless they're blissfully ignorant.
