And of course by Americans, they are referring to the banks right? That is where all the Trillion$ we poor slobs we paid in taxes and inflation wound up. Only the .1% and .01% made significant wealth increases and they are all friends with the bankers ESPECIALLY the Federal Reserve bandits.

Every day there is some statement released by the federal government that indicates that the pols and bureaucrats think that America would be just wonderful.... without Americans!

How in the hell can Americans hoard money when 3/4ths of us are living from paycheck to paycheck? And that money isn’t being blown on luxury items either. Utilities, fuel, food, and housing eat up the majority of the money most people earn. And low inflation? Are you kidding me? Been to a grocery store or gas station lately?

It could be that people just don’t have any money to spend

That's what 'Slow Joe' Bite-me said, just the other day! Of course his prescription blamed it on the evil rich, those other than him, I mean!

Gee, you sold the idea of looking for the article so well, I decided not to care enough about another BS article about another BS study from a Quasi-government monopoly.

The Federal Reserve of St. Louis is no different than that of Dallas, Cleveland, or San Francisco a bunch of seat filling bureaucrats that have no more knowledge about the economy or the concept of how a market operates than your average Obama drone and a damn sight less than your average Obama crack dealer.

“Young lady, did you hoard all that money by yourself?”

Hoarding money? Yep that's me.
They must be talking about the blue quart jar for pocket change on my dresser.
That is the only money I can afford to hoard.
