Can anybody explain the "disconnect" here between what I am observing and what the lamestream media and Democrats are telling us, regarding the "worst economy since the Depression"?

We borrowed what you are observing. Eventually, it must be paid back with interest.

Any questions?

Here's a dumb question:

Why is it that the U.S. savings rate on that chart was at its highest in the 1970s, when this country's economy was in the toilet?
