On this week’s episode of Retirement Lifestyle Advocates Radio with your host Dennis Tubbergen, economist Harry Dent predicts a significant economic downturn in the US, with the government adding a trillion dollars in debt every 100 days. He believes that the US has been avoiding a second Great Depression since 2008 by printing money and running consistent deficits, but this is unsustainable and will lead to a financial crisis. Dent predicts a 50% decline in real estate and an 80-90% drop in stocks. He advises investors to move into safe long-term treasury bonds, which he believes could double in value during the crisis. Dent also criticizes the government's attempts to avoid recessions, arguing that they are a necessary part of the economic cycle.
