What I don't really get...if we come out of this with a 'V' or 'U' shaped dip to the economy as a whole but in order to keep things afloat the governments of the world have just spent trillions, do we see an affect on our daily lives and what is this effect? Are we back to a seriously long period of austerity to shore up the central coffers again? Will all long term plans to invest that were part of the election manifesto have to be changed?

Also, if you are in the super-rich category, do you end up better off because there will be a lot of other people who can't stay afloat...ie is it relative or does everyone suffer economically equally?

Sorry...really basic macro-economics questions that I find hard to understand/link global economics with actual change to individuals lives!
