  1. Banks need money to come into the banking system: Well, 'if' the banks offered interest rates on saving's accounts that kept up with (or even slightly exceeded) the rate of economic inflation, the banks would have more money then they knew what to do with.

  2.  @petermello55  Other than how does one store money for future expenses that is very liquid? If stored at home or elsewhere, it could be stolen. And currently, if stored in a bank (other than supposedly backed by FDIC, which might have some of it's own financial issues), money stored in a bank is not really fully 100% guaranteed as being a safe storage area either. And then also, having a checking account (via utilizing checks and/or debit cards and/or auto payments), which makes it easier to buy things and pay bills, that is also backed by a saving's account in the same bank, gives at least some benefits to keeping money in a bank, including having a saving's account (even though the interest paid by a bank does not keep up with inflation). But, what is a person to do otherwise?
