Steve Eisman: Not Concerned about the Federal Debt

The collective federal debt of the United States surpassed $36.2 trillion. President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” will add an estimated $3.4 trillion to the country’s debt over the next decade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office. Trump’s first term in office is projected to add more than $8 trillion to the debt. And Joe Biden’s one-term in between Trump’s could add more than $4 trillion to the debt for future generations.

Hedge fund manager Steve Eisman -- who expanded his fortune and fame by betting against subprime mortgages before the U.S. housing market collapsed in 2007-2008 and led to the Great Recession – is staying consistent about what he says about the country’s growing debt obligations. He is not nearly as concerned about the rising debt as others.

"You know what I have to say about all this? Just stop. God's sake," Eisman said to CNBC about frequent questions that he gets about the U.S. debt.

He continued, “I'm going to say this…maybe it's a little too obnoxious. But I can't help myself. It's just so — how many times do I get this question? People want to be me. They want to predict the end of the world. And I have news for all of them. The position of Steve Eisman is taken."
