Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/22/2010 -- While consumers have begun the deleveraging process and are cutting back on their debt, many governments around the world (including the United States) are trying to keep their respective economies heading in the right direction by pumping money into their respective systems.

This economic philosophy, known as Keynesian Economics, has governments actively intervening in markets in an effort to ensure a country’s economic stability. Noted financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen sees the recent government actions as “putting Keynesian economists’ feet to the proverbial fire.”

Tubbergen, who is CEO of USA Wealth Management LLC, a federally registered investment advisory company, notes that while private sector debt still remains high, the exorbitant levels of public debt may be the catalyst that drives both stock and bond markets lower.

“It should come as no surprise that worldwide debt levels are a huge threat to economic recovery,” explains Tubbergen. “Given the current state of the global economy, odds favor a prolonged decline over time.”

Tubbergen adds that while markets rarely go straight up or straight down, the current decline may have some encouraging rallies.

“Difficult decisions will have to be made by the U.S. government to significantly change the direction of our economy,” concludes Tubbergen. “It goes without saying: the financial health of a government can be used as a gauge to assess the financial health of its citizens.”
