Speaking about the American economy with The New York Times in 2016, Pomboy opined the optimists on Wall Street were in for another round of disappointment. "I don't think there will be a second-half rebound. Growth will be the same as in the first half of the year or even weaker. We have a monster overhang from inventories, and consumer spending will continue to disappoint. I'm not saying they will fall out of bed. I just see the status quo — a sideways to downward churn, with a squeeze on discretionary spending. People will cut back further in discretionary spending with the huge increase in premiums for health insurance coming later this year and next year."
