Are you sure it will get the economy better? Savings is essentially turning consumption money into capital money. What is the benefit of that in the economy where the latter is printed by the trillion?

It's turning consumption wealth into capital wealth. Printing money has a huge impact on that distribution, but it's not something you can increase globally by printing.
