"So, yes, the savings rate did go up. That's one of the usual results of a fiscal stimulus " _______________ Wow....so are you now supporting the idea of pumpting billions of unfunded dollars into the taxpayers' hands in the hopes that they might save part of it, thus improving the savings rate? And then what happens? If they spend the money and the "savings rate" goes down after the unfunded pump-priming, then you will be happy because they are spending the money to stimulate the economy, right? But the savings rate will then "go down" in the next quarter? Gee.... Maybe the answer is just have the government send money to everyone every month. Tons and tons of it. But I thought you didn't like "socialism".
