The biggest near-term threats to the economy, in this order are:

1. Fed raising short-term rates too high
2. Oil supply shocks

Now, the medium term risks in order:
3. Failure to make the tax cuts permanent
4. Failure to get government spending under control

Long term risks
5. Explosion of entitlement spending

Those mostly look like risks that are facing investors and business owners. Are investors and business owners equivalent to "the economy?"
