Lowest savings rate since 1939?

"For the year, incomes rose 5.8 percent, a bit faster than
spending, which increased 5.4 percent. But tax and fee
payments to government shot up 11.4 percent. So disposable,
or after tax, income rose just 5 percent, somewhat slower than
spending.

To make up the difference, Americans saved less -- just 3.8
percent of disposable income, down from 4.3 percent in 1996.
That represented the lowest savings rate since 1939."
