Grand Rapids, MI -- (SBWire) -- 04/04/2012 --If you are concerned about government waste and how much debt the U.S. has been accumulating, you might want to catch the next broadcast of financial advisor Dennis Tubbergen’s radio show. Based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, Tubbergen is the CEO of USA Wealth Management, LLC and is in his sixth year of hosting financial radio shows.
Tubbergen’s next guest is Leslie Paige, Vice President of Policy and Communications of the organization Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW). CAGW is a private, non-partisan, non-profit group with more than one million members and supporters nationwide.
Founded in 1984 by the late industrialist J. Peter Grace and syndicated columnist Jack Anderson, CAGW is the legacy of the President’s Private Sector Survey on Cost Control, more commonly known as the Grace Commission.
The group has printed and distributed numerous publications on wasteful government spending and also publishes a quarterly newspaper called Government WasteWatch. The group’s website features a “Porker of the Month” column whose March honor was given to Michigan Senator Debbie Stabenow (D) for submitting amendment #1812 to S. 1813, the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act.
The amendment, which was defeated on March 13, 2012, would have extended federal subsidies for green energy, such as alternative fueling stations, biofuels, refined coal, and others. The group took aim at Senator Stabenow because it members believe it is becoming increasingly obvious if automobile manufacturers were able to “build a practical mass-market electric car” they would have done so by now without the aid of initiatives and subsidies. The tax credits for Alternative Fuel Vehicle Refueling and the Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit began as part of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 stimulus.
Dennis Tubbergen has long been denouncing the current amount of debt in the United States and its probable effect on the generations to come. In his blog posted on March 28, 2012 Tubbergen talks about President Obama passing George W. Bush on the ‘Most Accumulated Debt’ list.
According to his blog, America’s National Debt has now increased more during President Obama’s three years in office than it did in the entire eight years of President George W. Bush’s term in that office. Standing at $10.626 trillion when President Bush left office, today’s National Debt is a whopping $15.566 trillion.
Tubbergen points out that since President Bush nearly doubled the national debt during his term in office, the numbers are “just bigger” now.
“Debt can double, double again and maybe even double a time after that,” states Tubbergen in the blog. “But it can’t keep doubling forever. It’s about time to get more leadership that thinks beyond the next election.”
