Idiots.
they are right on that.

I have said it many times. If everyone were to just save their cash, then its a recession. The economy works when money changes hands.

Thats why doing things like welfare cuts doesnt help the economy as thats stopping enforced money circulation.

That is why 1 million pounds is better given £100 to 10000 people then 1 million to 1 person.
