DeadPrez is just itching to send us into a recession for no reason.

Go invest in gold, bro. You would have made so much money! =|

There's plenty of incentive in the tax code for saving for retirement, which is the only thing you should be saving for.

More savings = more loans is old fashioned banking. Modern banks only care about the capital requirements they have to meet. It doesn't matter how much people are saving

If you really wanted more saving, better solution would be to make high-yield CDs tax deductible, so people have more incentive to store their money and banks have more incentive to chase after savers with good rate offers.
