        Best investment strategy for cash during a period of inflation? Certainly if the rates go up then savings accounts (and CDs, bonds, etc) all would be more attractive than the current 0.05% rates out there.

          Yeah, but what you get, still won't keep up with inflation.

                                  I think that the US should get rid of the one dollar bill. I know that they have tried to promote the USD$1 coin, but unless you give more of an incentive, it will not work.

                                  I agree. If the US is going to promote a USD $1 coin, they need to stop printing the USD $1 paper money.

                                  In Europe, I think the smallest bill is about USD $5. In Taiwan, it is about $3 USD.

                                  (One country that keeps really small denomination bills is India. And they keep them for a long long time. The money can be quite tattered and dirty and still in use)

                                    This is all silly, and a perfect example of a biased news org debating a biased politician. In other words, gas prices are going up because of both factors. But Doocy wants to make it seem like it's Biden-only, and Psaki wants to make it seem like it's Putin-only. These are reasons I don't really watch news or press conferences, it's all spin.

                                        @jon-nyc fair enough. A 60¢ rise in the last weeks.

                                        But that's still only ¼ the rise over the last 15 months.

                                        Seems like it was only two weeks ago that she was blaming the Ukraine shit for inflation.
