Oh dang ! That household debt sure is scary. Where's the real time data sourced from?

> U.S economic risk as of ...

With the click of a button, may be also allow a view of where it was at a point in history...? i.e. U.S economic risk as of [insert point in history]

Great work so far. Simple and usable.

But while the household debt is huge, isn't it naturally balanced by the equally massive collateral the banks have in the houses themselves? I mean, sure Joe America has a $500k mortgage, but the bank has first position on Joe's house which is worth $675k.

Only in a healthy housing market. In an economic downturn where a lot of people are defaulting, the bank will not be able to sell the house for anywhere near that price.

This is a great idea. Might implement some kind of timeline that you can scroll through.
