Fisher Investments’ Founder, Ken Fisher, Debunks: “America Can’t Handle Its Debt”

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Ken Fisher, provides his perspective on fears that America cannot handle its debt. In Ken’s view-while he can’t promise this to be the case into perpetuity-the US can afford its debt, and investors shouldn’t panic.
Ken encourages us to look at the country’s debt in context. For example, there are three basic forms of debt-consumer, corporate and government. In terms of consumer and corporate balance sheets, Ken reminds investors that the data is more positive than it has been in the last few decades. Ken goes on to explain how the US has been able to service its current government debt with relative ease. For example, interest payments on government debt remain a small portion of incoming tax revenues. US GDP has also risen with time and, with interest rates remaining relatively low until very recently, debt-servicing costs remain affordable.

Noticeable lack of bot spam threads advertising competing investment advisors on this video compared to a lot of other current finance and economics videos. Happy to see it. Would like to better understand the why though. Is this just a case of the host being vigilant about removing or flagging the toxic comments or is there something else at play here?

I’m a little confused. The numbers I’m hearing are this: US Fed Govt takes in around $4T in tax revenue and Interest on Debt comes to around $1T. That’s 25%.

Much of corporate debt is backed by balanced by assets in addition to earning powers. Much of individual debt is balanced by assets such as homes in addition to income. Most of the govt debt is backed by nothing but “earning power” of the govt in the forms of taxation. That’s a big difference.

100% of all federal income tax goes straight to the federal reserve bank for interest and transfer of payments. This is a fact and was discovered by the grace commission in 1984. The U.S. government continues to go into debt since 1913 and 0$ gos to the principal or the services tax payers expect from their government. What are your thoughts on the grace commission report good sir?

In my opinion a 1 trillion dollar debt is too much and insane! We as individuals are expected to live responsibly and as close to debt free as possible. All this interest the government is paying on this debt could be used to make our lives better.

Ken, as you point out the % of interest as % of tax revenues has been relatively steady but now it is actually different and getting worse quickly.

On average, U S. debt growing maybe two percent faster than GDP is doable. However, we can't borrow at too fast a clip.

A Video about the valuation in relation to the interest rates in a historical perspective would be nice.. For me the valuation atm looks like a bet on shrinking rates in the next few years. Also somebody told me a new bullmarket with that valuation never happend before.. You have a very rational picture, do you have some words on that

Hey Ken. When I see inflation and debt data in this perspective, the mainstream market news media looks to me like a Sam Kinneson imposter on meth having a panic attack playing chicken little in the market segment. Thanks for sharing!
