Ok, I've made those changes:
GMAC Online Savings down from 3.25 to 3.00
GMAC Money Market down from 2.75 to 2.50
Note: GMAC Online Savings main page still reads 3.25% as of this moment, however, if you click on 'Today's Rates,' that page shows that the current yield is 3.00%.

Flagstar is down to 3%. Sheesh, they're dropping like flies.
I wonder how DollarSavings can keep offering 4%. They must've written some pretty bad loans....  |

As all the banks that wrote alot of bad one are dropping their rates like a rock maybe they wrote some pretty good ones or the did not write any at all. Best way to find out is to research Emigrant Bank of NYC and see what they did during the heyday of the bubbles.
Alternatively maybe Emigrant just did not get as healthy a cut of free taxpayer dollars so they have to get their capital the old fashion way, by offering market leader rates.
Anybody know the scoop on Emigrant (Dollar Savings Direct is a division of Emigrant who also owns EmigrantDirect) |

Event at 3.5%, your money is still losing it’s value at the current inflation rate. Might as well spend them all...  |

Eh? Inflation is very low right now. In fact the primary worry is about deflation.

Hehe, well, yes we had some high inflation the first half of 2008 (take a look at gas prices). But now we are deflationary.
