Cullen Roche认为,评估美国政府债务需考虑其全球储备货币地位及无外债的特殊性。他指出,政府债务的增加并不一定意味着危机,关键在于政府如何利用这些负债促进经济增长和创造财富。他强调,真正的制约因素是通货膨胀,而非债务规模本身。他还分析了美联储加息对通货膨胀和经济的影响,认为加息虽然会增加政府的利息支出,但同时也能抑制通货膨胀和消费者需求。此外,他还探讨了人口结构变化对社会保障等项目的影响,以及政府债务与企业利润之间的关系。最后,他还就特朗普政府的贸易保护主义政策可能造成的通货膨胀风险以及美联储对长期国债收益率的控制力发表了看法。 Ben Carlson和Duncan Hill就政府债务问题与Cullen Roche进行了深入探讨,并就政府债务对金融市场的影响、应对政府债务的措施以及特朗普政府的经济政策等方面提出了自己的疑问和见解。

Cullen Roche explains that context matters, emphasizing the U.S. as the global reserve currency issuer with no foreign debt, making bankruptcy unlikely. He argues that the government's ability to print dollars ensures it can always pay its debts in nominal terms.

Public Disclosure: A Bond Account is a self-directed brokerage account with Public Investing, member FINRA/SIPC. Deposits into this account are used to purchase 10 investment-grade and high-yield bonds. As of 9/26/24, the average, annualized yield to worst (YTW) across the Bond Account is greater than 6%. A bond’s yield is a function of its market price, which can fluctuate; therefore, a bond’s YTW is not “locked in” until the bond is purchased, and your yield at time of purchase may be different from the yield shown here. The “locked in” YTW is not guaranteed; you may receive less than the YTW of the bonds in the Bond Account if you sell any of the bonds before maturity or if the issuer defaults on the bond. Public Investing charges a markup on each bond trade. See our Fee Schedule: https://public.com/disclosures/fee-schedule. Bond Accounts are not recommendations of individual bonds or default allocations. The bonds in the Bond Account have not been selected based on your needs or risk profile.
