Americans are doing everything they can to weaken the dollar - unbridled consumption, no savings.

If we spend all our money on consuming and don't save, how is it we own more in per-capita assets than any other country? Also, if we don't save or invest, how does our net worth continue to increase so rapidly? It's more than doubled since 1995.
