You are also quite selective about the notion of savings too (i.e. that they are not budgeted for spending at a point in the future), and you fail to point out the role of bank savings as a facilitator of economic activity through the various banks' abilities to offer loans, credit extensions, etc, thus stimulating economic activity. Personally I have spent the stimulus a few times over to help our economy, and my cheque won't even clear until tomorrow. I was was in the Sydney CBD over the past two weekends and I can tell you, it was like the weekend before Christmas. You should get out more. But I guess you won't, because your rant here shows you are a right-wing nutcase.

That's a shocking slander on Rundle. He writes ten times better than this dross after a four-day bender. Good grief Tim G. That’s a shocking slander on Rundle.
