The media keeps suggesting a possible rate increase, I think, to make people think, the economy is strong and can withstand higher rates. But the rates on bonds are LOWER.

In one respect the deflation sounds like a lack of spending money, with many people, pushing prices lower, and in another respect, it looks like excess unneeded income is plowing into savings, pushing rates lower.
Falling interest rates and a less climbing dollar?? Something is way out of whack.
