Could the Federal Deficit Hurt the Stock Market?

For decades, financial pundits and economists have warned that a large U.S. budget deficit could hurt the market and cause pain for investors. Today, Paul notices that the same warnings are circulating again and pushes back on fears about higher taxes, rising interest rates, and companies having a harder time borrowing money. Listen along as Paul explains why the market has remained a powerful wealth-building machine through changing deficits, tax policies, and economic conditions. Paul also shares why reacting to economic headlines can cause investors to miss the long-term wealth creation that markets have historically provided.   Later in the episode, Paul discusses the disadvantage of having your home or business as your biggest asset instead of an investment portfolio.   Want to cut through the myths about retirement income and learn evidence-based strategies backed by over a century of data?
