| Q3 2009 By John Schroy, on February 22nd, 2010 |  Leave a comment  In Q3 2009, American households saved 4% of their income, a sharp increase from 1.5% in 2007 before the current financial crisis. Tax breaks in the “economic stimulus” package were directed to savings rather than consumption. Private sector tax payers were incensed by the profligate behavior of the Pelosi-Reid Congress, which gave rise to the Tea Party Movement.

In 2010, gold prices were soaring, reflecting fear of inflation from fiscal excesses of the Obama administration and continuation of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. If Obama is a one-termer, gold prices could fall.

There has been a net swing away from certain classes of private debt on the order of USD 1.5 trillion, between 2006 and Q2 2009.
