Fisher Investments Reviews US National Debt Fears

Fisher Investments’ founder, Executive Chairman and Co-Chief Investment Officer, Ken Fisher, discusses long-held fears over rising US government debt. Ken says many investors look at debt the wrong way, focusing on the total amount. Ken believes it’s more important to look at the affordability of the national debt to get a better perspective of whether it is sustainable.
According to Ken, the US can comfortably afford its debt. He says interest payments on federal debt are a small portion of annual federal income, and as a percent of GDP are significantly lower than the 1990s-a positive stretch for stocks. He also believes US interest rates would be much higher than they are now if the US had a debt problem, as investors would demand higher returns for the added risk.
