All hail us rich savers, our savings must be subsidized at all costs. The fact that there is barely anything to invest in, the fact that any further investment would make us a loss, all of that must be ignored because human time can obviously be owned and if the people that this time represents dare to do something as foolish as age while they wait for us to employ them, they are clearly stealing from us the value of our money! Aging is a sin. Starvation is a sin. Homelessness is a sin. So we let the government indirectly borrow money from us, to pay for welfare, to keep these people alive so they stop stealing the value of our money from us by dying. How dare they die!
The fact that this debt isn't paid by us but rather by the working class, is how we get away with this scheme. After all, those who work for a living, those who spend almost all of their money, unable to save it for the sake of subjugating society, spending it just to live their life, using it as the medium of exchange so many postulate it to be, do not have any significant savings to speak of and would not significantly benefit from any reward that is proportional to how much they own.
I must remind everyone that the Greece financial crisis was actually a bank bailout program for German banks. After all, savings are the holy cow of the rich. If you take something away that didn't exist, in proportion to how much the real world lost, you are a communist.
If you can't touch the savings and the savings keep growing, the economy must grow in lock step with the savings. Endless growth is just a subsidy to endless savers since you can't tell them to stop.
