How do you encourage Americans to save? Increase interest rates?

Just asking.

Make interest income tax free, or at an absolute minimum tax only interest above the inflation rate. Likewise index capital gains for inflation.

And perhaps most importantly, stop demonizing those who are prudent and save.
