The U.S. Federal Debt is actually easy to understand - it's harder to fix. If you are struggling to understand how it all works, the Wall Street Journal recently produced a helpful and brief video explaining how the Federal Debt works - including the "debt ceiling" which will be a contentious political debate in the near future. I encourage you to watch the video, and as always, please do not hesitate to reach out to us with questions or concerns about why this matters to your financial plan.
