Americans savings rate versus U.S government savings rate

Americans  savings rate  versus U.S government savings rate

Americans boosted their savings rate to 6.1% in 2009. But as the economy has mended, our inclination to save has waned, reaching just 4.5% last year.
The CBO, a nonpartisan agency that advises Congress on budget policy, forecast deficit for the 2014  is $492 billion, or $23 billion less than it estimated two months ago. That's equivalent to 2.8% of gross domestic product, marking the smallest deficit since 2007. Since 1980, the deficit has averaged roughly 3.2% of GDP.
