Take Harry's financial advice for what its worth - not very much.

The magic panacea for massive government debt is inflation. It works
every time and it's coming here soon. Creditors get paid back with
depreciated dollars and the people on fixed incomes of various sorts
get paid with depreciated dollars also. This hits the retiree
population very hard unless they own some hard assets like real
estate, oil in the ground, gold, etc.
