Spend, Baby, Spend!

It fascinates me that after years of doom-and-gloom articles about how bad Americans are at saving, now we see articles like “Hard-Hit Families Finally Start Saving, Aggravating Nation’s Economic Woes.”

Ah. It’s the savers’ fault. That clarifies things…

Yes, I read the whole article; I get it — and think “the paradox of thrift” is one of my new favorite phrases… So, perhaps this can be my excuse to go buy something extravagant. “I’m just helping the economy, honest!”
