ON THE BRIGHT SIDE, it's nice to know my saving is financing your spending.

Uh, wait ... did I really say that? Well, sorta ... your spending enables the companies I invest in to make more money, which they return to me in increased dividends and higher stock prices. Now if the government would quit spending so much, you could spend more of your money and I could save more of mine.

And maybe become one of those hated billionaires....
