High finance, huh? As shown at the bottom of this page, investors/savers are receiving an interest rate of 1.37% retun on aone year CD . . . and the banks are charging 25% to 35% on credit card balances, irght? This is not higher finance, it is outright FRAUD against the American people. The disparity between the return on investments versus what the banks are charging has become obscenely userous. This is nothing less than LEGALIZED THEFT and manipulation of our economy to the extreme detriment of the people. This IS CRIMINAL.
