That he should carry out his grand gesture, is the fault of the City Fathers who turned this little-boy prank into a three-ring circus, by roping off the streets and permitting photographers to lie untrampled on their backs, instead of keeping lanes open and business functioning as usual.

That these 8% put a large amount of their money into savings instead of buying consumer goods is theoretically of no consequence since the savings are available for investment and consequent increased creation of capital goods.
