the govt also claims savings rate at 1.5 to 2.0%

that includes $800 billion in self-paid rent to homeowners
and $300 billion in self-paid credits for checking accounts
take them out and you get minus $400 billion in annual savings

the nice part of govt statistics is that if you read just the headlines and few followup sentences, you can receive a nice diet of distorted data VERY QUICKLY
with little work

you sound lazy, accepting govt statistics
since most others in your field accept the same
at least you are standing on the same level ground as your peers
and therefore have gotten most forecasts wrong

have a great day
