well, i'm going to state the obvious here: saving did not kill the economy - but it is helping it to die. the big horrible monster that pulled the trigger was the people who borrowed more than they could afford (in turn - the banks that gave them the money as well). the 'savers' did not cause any of this - however, being that the savers are now the only ones with money left in their pockets, they are being blamed for letting the economy 'die'.
don't fall into the guilt trip. its not YOUR fault people spent more than they could afford.
