Minds of most Americans have been corrupted with many economic myths by mainstream economists and so called experts, which are reinforced by the media and often repeated on the streets. These myths are false in most cases, and based on half truths in others. We constantly hear things like: inflation is caused by rising oil prices; consumption is the most important element for economic growth; government expenditures help stimulate the economy; and many others.

In this article, First in a series of two, I will explore some popular myths regarding Inflation and Energy matters. In the second article, I will write for you about common myths about Consumption.

I have searched internet for a good list of Cash Deposit Rates for all US Banks but did not find anything useful except a forum from where I picked this info. I am not sure if it the most recent list but this is what is available at the moment. best thing about this list of CD Rates is that links to bank websites are there. so ever if the list is not current list of CD rates it is very useful. If you know another source of good CD rates or have up to date information, please leave a comment so I can update the list accordingly.
Use Find Function on your browser to find the CD Rate or bank you are looking for…. (usually Ctrl+F)
