The Post I've Been Wanting to Write

I've been trying to figure out the right angle on a post for a few weeks, one that talks about the idea that the real problem with the American economy is that we aren't consuming enough. Until we kick-start consumptions, the idea goes, the economy will remain sluggish. (The idea is poppycock, by the way.)

Anyway, I've been pre-empted by Kevin Williamson, who has explicated it better than I could have.
