Interest rates need to be 12%, that would put an end to $35,000 starter cars with 72 month payment schedules. .

Fed Will Keep Rates High Thanks to Inflation
No competent person in economics or finance thinks inflation is caused by corporate greed. Inflation, the general rise in prices across the board, has one and only one cause - the overprinting of fiat currency.
If there is collusion within certain industries such as serious AntiTrust effort, then in some segments of economy there may be "artificial" inflation.
Remember, inflation is the rise in prices across the board, it has nothing to do with high prices in one sector due to shortages. With inflation, it is the money itself that is devalued, not when a specific product increased in value due to demand exceeding supply.

Yes it requires me to login and make a few clicks on a website each week. But it gets me more $$ than a MM account and is free of state taxes.

"Historically, the US central bank has avoided surprising markets – say, by going 75bp when it is not priced in," Barclays economists led by Jonathan Millar said in a note to clients published Friday.
"But next week, we feel, is likely to be an exception."
