Paul Phillips writes:>Was it not Keynes that pointed out that you can not 'save up' for
retirement pensions?<

yes, but if the saving corresponds to (real) investment in factories, a clean 
environment, infrastructure, etc., the latter can raise labor productivity, allowing 
future workers to easily pay for old farts such as myself when/if I retire.

Of course, Keynes was absolutely right that increasing saving doesn't automatically 
increase investment.
