I'm not worried. I think the US does need to reduce deficit spending by a combination of higher taxes and reduced spending. Maybe it will do this sooner, maybe later, not much I can do about it. Looking at debt-to-GDP ratios the U.S. could do better, but it isn't crazy compared to others. Financially, I own stocks and a house. Why? Those companies make products and sell them to the world and the house has a fixed 2.625% interest rate, why not.
