I also want to thank you for reminding me of that Debt Clock, placed it in one of my favorites for future reference.
So America's household worth is about 105 Trillion. There is one other issue that seldom gets reported, we are Americans and the American lifestyle has its flaws, but we also have so many great things that we invest in each and everyday.
This week I am cutting back foods in the freezer, I call it adventure eating, putting together things that have been in the freezer and cabinets for awhile. This allows me not to spend any money at the grocery store. I have also paid down the few bills on my credit cards to zero balances. I finished my projects around the house before winter sets in. Americans are pretty good with money, we might spend it all of the time, but if you have family, house, car and activities, its what we all do. We just cut back here and there, and spend cautiously when we have to.
My neighbor is having some major work done on his home this week. But that's another example of why this country is far superior when it comes to what we have. We do try and take care of our possessions, and we like to do many things, like baseball games, and everything else.
I just wish the Republicans would get back to sanity, and what they once did better, maintaining an adequate defense of this country, but with a sense of reasonability when it comes to spending, and to balance our approach to any entitlementsin the long term view, so that they will be around for decades to come.
Everything else are just the issues of the day that get discussed and debated over the years.
I like it when posters place websites for me to look at, the internet has such a vast amount of information in it, but some days many of us can get lost looking for something. I have my favorite places, and one of your websites has joined that list. When I tell Mary I am going up to check numbers, she knows that I check a wide variety of things. I can do so much from my office, so much that some days I do not even have to leave the house. I can become so productive by just typing some keys on my computer, and that makes me feel better when my body is not quite up to the task.
Sure will be interesting to see what happens today, the stock market might move higher, but only certain stocks will benefit from this move, the rest will just have small penny gains.
