"Savers in today's society get punished"

No. You can earn the same as inflation in a risk-free investment.

You can earn more by taking a small amount of risk.

Savers are not punished for anything.

? If you leave your money as USD in a bank account, you will not earn the same as inflation as interest. I consider this punishment.

A pure deflationary currency should exist to counterbalance inflationary fiat.
