When Debt Math Breaks: The Fed, Inflation, and What Comes Next - Dr. Jonathan Newman
Could the U.S. national debt and rising Treasury yields force the Federal Reserve into a new round of money creation? Dennis Tubbergen examines the growing U.S. debt crisis, federal deficits, rising interest costs, inflation, Treasury bond yields, and the enormous amount of government debt that must be refinanced in the years ahead. Economist Dr. Jonathan Newman joins Dennis to discuss Federal Reserve independence, the relationship between the Fed and U.S. Treasury, debt monetization, interest rates, Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), and his forthcoming Anti-MMT book. Dennis then explores what could happen if bond investors lose confidence in U.S. government debt, including the possibility of Federal Reserve yield curve control, renewed inflation, and declining purchasing power. For retirement investors concerned about the national debt, inflation, interest rates, bonds, monetary policy, and protecting wealth, this episode examines what the debt math may mean for your financial future.
