The Great Depression of the 1930s was a Supercycle wave four down. So, this is a level higher or worse than that, and that's what's just starting. It'll probably last at least 10 years, maybe more, and it's going to do a lot of damage and probably change the way we see the world. That’s not to scare everyone, but according to our guest this week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, technical analyst Dr. Robert McHugh, you can hope for the best, but best to plan for the worst. Your host, Dennis Tubbergen, also talks with Dr. McHugh about his thoughts on the Fed, banks, and the real estate markets.

Since the Great Society programs started, we have provided profound disincentives to people on the right-hand side of the bell curve to have children while simultaneously creating large incentives for people on the left side of that curve. It’s the people on the right side of those curves who are the ones that end up being successful and therefore paying taxes, and, as a result, they're the ones that drive the economy. This week on Retirement Lifestyle Advocates radio, our guest Karl Denninger talks with your host Dennis Tubbergen about how these programs culminate in what Denninger calls a Demographic Disaster. Mr. Karl Denninger is an American technology businessman, finance blogger, author, and political activist, sometimes referred to as a founding member of the Tea Party movement. Mr. Denninger is the author of the book Leverage: How Cheap Money Will Destroy the World. In the book, Denninger presents an inside look at how moneyed and powerful interests debase the dollar through the willful and intentional failure to honestly represent short and long-term mathematical truths that underlie all economic systems.
