No I simply asking isn't there a loss in multiplier from the money in its natural market state to its saftey net state?
1. There is no such thing as a "natural market state". There are simply rules which benefit owners of capital or workers.
2. The multiplier effect works best when there is high velocity. There isn't high velocity in pensions/savings/etc. So the answer is no.
3. Finally, "profit left in the market" as you so inaptly put it, obvious benefits the owners of capital, which is a foolish thing to do for an economic policy, since owners of capital do fine. Benefiting them tends to lead to bubbles and recessions. It's better to have rules that benefit workers, so that economic growth is broad based and invested in the production of real goods and services, not derivatives.
