In this upside down, inside out world, being a thrifty saver MAKES YOU A CHUMP FOR THE SYSTEM!!!!
Being a thrifty saver could result in someone becoming wealthy.
Mr. Obama really IS simply looking out for our best interests. He’s trying to save us from becoming part of the “evil 1%”.

There is a few economic theories that say that saving is not only bad, but a sin.
The theory is you need to take the “savings” and put it into circulation as soon as possible. This helps the economy, forces you to work, and generates revenue for the financial sector.
I first ran into to this idea in a book by Taylor Caldwell that my grandma had. I was rather amused, till I heard it again in my econ classes.
