debt overhang

Is it true that Americans are saving more now?

Media reports say that U.S. citizens are saving more after the merger. I wonder how it is possible when they have a huge debt in the form of mortgages and credit cards charged. If there was some money rather pay my loan and reduce interest costs, should not he? Is someone manipulating here?

Although you need to save money and is an additional concern to the Govt. United States, the necessary expenditure in the economy that creates jobs. Backup will only kill more jobs. The recession appears that only deepens. Those who have the burden of loans, I guess they are doing their best to pay this debt, otherwise they will end up sleeping on the street. U.S. Government offers no social protection, both inequality. Capitalism at its best! Handling? Who are driving? I do not know the answer to this question. I can have a go that capitalism is the manipulation here. But you never know, USA is so corrupt, which can cover almost anything. Sorry, this is more a diatribe response.
