When interest rates on bank accounts are beneath the rate of inflation the value of your savings depreciates over time. That is; you’ll lose money by saving it.

The government do what it should have done in the first place?

AIG Insurance stopped insuring loans, this is what stopped the economy, The Government should let AIG fail and then step in and start selling the same insurance as AIG did and everything will go right back to normal.

Should banks be lending just because a politician tells them to?

Investor’s Business Daily: "The White House thinks it can jawbone banks into lending to people they don’t want to lend to. We’ve been down this road before, and it led all the way to the 2007 financial meltdown. The president on Monday gave a tongue-lashing to the ‘fat-cat bankers on Wall Street,’ as he called them the day before. He wants them to make more loans to small businesses and consumers to give the economy a boost. We tried this before. Indeed, it’s the very source of the financial and economic calamity of the past two years."
