Core Viewpoint - Billionaire investor Steve Eisman warns that the consumer situation is becoming increasingly difficult, and the narrative that artificial intelligence (AI) is driving the U.S. economy overlooks this reality. He states that if AI investments are excluded, the actual state of the U.S. economy would be drastically different [2]. Economic Growth Analysis - Eisman describes the U.S. economy as a "Tale of Two Cities," where GDP growth appears strong, but excluding AI investments reveals that the economy is nearly stagnant. He forecasts the U.S. GDP to be $29.18 trillion in 2024, with a projected growth of 1.8% in 2025, equating to an economic increment of approximately $530 billion. The total investment in AI infrastructure by major tech companies like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft is around $400 billion, indicating that the remaining economic growth would be minimal when AI contributions are excluded [2][3]. Consumer Debt Concerns - The New York Federal Reserve reported that by Q2 2025, U.S. household debt is expected to rise by $185 billion, reaching $18.39 trillion. Auto loan balances will increase by $13 billion to $1.66 trillion, while student loan balances will see a slight rise of $7 billion, totaling $1.64 trillion. This growing debt situation raises concerns about the overall health of the U.S. economy [3]. Retail and Automotive Industry Impact - Lakshmi Ganapathi, founder of Unicus Research, highlights that the consumer predicament is spreading across various sectors, including retail, installment consumption, and the automotive industry. The pandemic-induced government stimulus checks created a false sense of wealth, leading consumers to qualify for loans they may not be able to repay [3][4]. Automotive Sector Warning Signs - Ganapathi points out that during the pandemic, the U.S. government issued approximately 476 million stimulus checks totaling $814 billion, which made consumers appear wealthier than they actually were. This "false wealth" allowed them to secure high-quality loans, despite lacking the actual repayment capacity. The automotive industry saw a surge in sales during this period, with manufacturers raising prices due to supply chain issues and increased consumer demand [4]. Market Dynamics and Inventory Issues - As production resumed post-pandemic, many dealerships faced excess inventory, forcing new car prices down while used car prices surged due to high demand. CarMax, the largest used car retailer in the U.S., reported a significant increase in loan loss reserves, with quarterly revenue declining by 11.2% to $102.6 million, indicating a shift in sales towards older, higher-mileage vehicles [4][5]. Consumer Affordability and Recovery Challenges - Although older used cars may be more affordable for consumers, they come with higher maintenance costs. Banks are reluctant to repossess these vehicles due to their diminished value, leading to a situation where the volume of repossessions is rising, but the success rate of recovering vehicles is declining. This trend suggests that consumers are facing a financial collapse [5].
