Radio Show Host Dennis Tubbergen Interviews Karl Denninger

Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWire) -- 05/06/2011 -- Being a financial advisor, advisor to financial advisors, author and radio talk show host keeps Dennis Tubbergen very busy. Tubbergen’s recent guests include many well-known people from across the country, including financial blogger Karl Denninger.

Tubbergen, who has been in the financial industry for over 25 years, is CEO of USA Wealth Management LLC, a federally-registered investment advisory company; and is CEO of USA Advanced Planning, a tax planning and wealth transfer company. Tubbergen featured Denninger as a guest on his April 10, 2010 episode of The Everything Financial Radio Show.

“Karl Denninger is frequently interviewed on a Baltimore radio station and is a prolific blog writer, with one of the most-read financial blogs on the internet,” says Tubbergen when introducing Denninger on the show.

During the interview Tubbergen, who has written about quantitative easing on numerous occasions himself, asked Denninger what the Federal Reserve has been doing with quantitative easing.

“The first round of quantitative easing took Fannie and Freddie paper for the most part,” begins Denninger, referring to the Fannie May and Freddie Mac mortgaging giants. “They removed the risk by transferring the risk to the Federal Reserve.”

Denninger also calls this “propping up” of the two mortgage entities “to an extent a violation of Fed policies.”

“QE2 (the second round of quantitative easing) is a little different in that all the purchases made under that program are Treasuries,” adds Denninger. “The Federal Reserve is financing all the spending that is going on in Washington D.C.”

Denninger goes on to say that the likely result is that all this quantitative easing “will have to be unwound.”

“As you mentioned, they are printing money to fund government spending,” cites Tubbergen, noting that when QE2 ends the U.S. will have to find other investors to buy our government debt. “What are the chances they will succeed?”

“Zero,” claims Denninger. “The market is larger and smarter than a roomful of eggheads in D.C.”

Denninger believes the U.S. government will have to stop spending $1.7 trillion a year that we do not have, which he also claims to be “unlikely.”

“I don’t see how they exit from this policy unless we see a radical change in government spending,” notes Denninger.

Tubbergen brought up the topic of the U.S. Dollar as the world reserve currency and asked Denninger, “At what point is the rest of the world going to say, ‘Hey, wait a minute. We don’t want to use the U.S. Dollar.’”

“We’re seeing some of that already,” states Denninger, noting that the biggest impact of such a move is going to be felt by the lower- and middle-class, saying it will be “extreme” and we will see a deflationary period in the U.S.
