Well, this is a politics board, for one, and, for another, it was my impression that the statement was put forth in a manner designed to characterize the current state of the economy - in other words, my perception was that a partisan point was being asserted.
If Wonk was simply saying, we don't save enough, and we never have saved enough, well, then, . . .

You need to pick a lane here, big guy.* Either it was (a) a political point, in which case it is perceptions that count because how people are going to vote is going to depend not on whether they actually could eke it out a couple months without a paycheck, or (b) a factual point, in which case in theory it could be proven or disproven but there probably aren't going to be any definitive studies on it, and if there were, the studies would undoubtedly contain some kind of assumption that you could argue with.
I have to believe you know that someone posting an assertion like that in an attempt to sway the opinion of anyone on this board is going to be fruitless, so in the sense it is that kind of political statement it's meaningless.
*Incidentally you looked fab (other than the belly) in that Uff Da shirt at the local country & western bar this weekend.
