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.
