This is the point made earlier in my disagreement with Kenneth who wanted to make it sound as if one person was responsible for the savings today by us...

That of course was absolutely wrong and what Kenneth wrote was meant to fool the readers into believing his agenda.

It's hardly news that Americans save too little. Yet for the past two decades, while the personal savings rate has headed mostly down, politicians have mostly only remarked (or despaired, depending on temperament) on that fact.

But now it looks like somebody is going to do something about it. Our good friend, Mr. Rumor, has it that on Tuesday night President Bush will revive the proposal for two new tax-exempt savings accounts in his State of the Union address.

>Unlike the Democrats, Bush looks set to encourage saving.

Saving? I thought spending, rather than saving, causes the economy to grow!

His tax exempt savings program will worsen the deficit problem.
