Your ignorance posted as fact reminds me of Georgie girl screeching about WMD's and Nukes in Iraq...........
all fallacy and no intelligence. since NIPA and FFA are the only two methods for figuring savings per capita and then gaing a reliable national percentage I list BOTH methods... more of those pesky facts you hate. The adjusted numbers in Table 2 show the same general trends in the level of national saving as the unadulterated N.I.P.A. data in Table 1. In both, net domestic investment rises in the 1990's, but is below the levels of the 1960's and 1970's. Net domestic investment financed by domestic saving fell from 12.3 percent of GDP in the 1960's to 8.1 percent in 1998, with the gap covered by foreign saving. The F.F.A. saving rates, shown in Table 3, reveal the same decline in saving found in the N.I.P.A. data. F.F.A. private saving fell from an average of 15 percent of income in the 1980's to 9 percent from 1996-98. The equivalent measure of household saving fell from 12.2 percent of expanded disposable income in the 1980's to under 5 percent in 1996-98. My statements stand confirmed. Yours???
