>I was talking about inflation and the reality that the US and its citizens have substantial debt that can be assisted by a dose of inflation. Instead, more and more people are meeting your definition of "responsibility" by saving rather than spending, which as others have observed is leading to economic stagnation, slow job growth, property deflation and all that other good stuff. A cynic might claim that austerity is another of those behaviors that benefits me as long as everybody else doesn't start doing it too.

I must disagree with your premise. The "story" is that Americans are saving more, however, it appears to me to be the exact opposite.
