Savings are not for investments anyway. Anybody who really wants their "savings" to grow will be invested a variety of funds and other instruments.

Any many economic climates, inflation could potentially outstrip the interest rate of savings so it's silly to expect to be able to sit on your nest egg.

Like Slava said, encouraging smart investment is what it's all about. It's how you grow the economy.
