Don't remind me again today

So here's the kicker about that whole "savings equals investment" puzzle that trips up both the supply-side evangelists and their critics.



People without jobs? They're running negative savings. And debt—whether it's maxed-out credit cards or government deficits—that's just saving with a minus sign in front of it.

Wow, this angle is incredible. Negative savings = negative money saved, so I guess I've been "investing" my credit card limit these past few months, haha.

Hmm... this logic is absurd, how can debt become savings? So is my owed Huabei a "negative savings investment" haha.

Debt is negative savings, this logic is indeed incredible, no wonder those economists are fighting like crazy.

Ha, it's this trap of savings and investment again... To put it bluntly, debt is negative savings, and this logic is actually quite brilliant.

Liabilities are negative savings, and this framework can indeed be laid out in Excel... but to put it bluntly, it still confuses the concepts of stock and flow.

Debt is just negative savings; this perspective is quite extreme; I haven't thought about it this way before.
