I'm not clear on how you're linking the stats (which are, BTW, off by about 20%) you just posted to the state of the economy. Can you clarify?

40% of people not saving $400 doesn't mean the economy is bad. It could mean they don't know how to save the money they're earning. Perhaps something else is wrong.
