A negative savings rate? I hope the ppt isn't sleeping on this one - this thing must be propped up or else a financial Chernobyl ensues.

"The savings rate may not provide an accurate picture of savings, economists have cautioned, because it doesn't take into account gains realized from such things as rising stocks and higher real-estate values." bullsht...the gains haven't* been realized...investments do not equal savings...if they were to be transformed into savings (i.e. "realized"), the markets would collapse, and the perceived 'savings' would disappear into money heaven... who are these 'economists' anyway...they sound like WS propaganda shills not economists...
