"CJ, it might help to bring up the context of that statistic, since you obviously think it supports your original assertion:"

The context was always "what will it take to get the economy going?". Or, precisely the same one I was using.

The point being made is that money is out there. Demand isn't. Our savings rate has been climbing, recent figures put it at 6.2%. Up from 5% or so in February of this year. While it still has a ways to go before it reaches Japan-like levels, it is closing in on it.
