Hi Dave Z:
Actually consumed *when*? If workers receive wages today and
spend it immediately it should be no different (provided we are talking
about real income)
than if they save a part of their income and spend it tomorrow, next week, a
year from
now, or thirty years from now. It's true that the magnitude may be
marginally greater
with savings, but the funds are still actually consumed by the workers
and/or
their families.
In solidarity, Jerry
