Banks Used To Provide Relief From Inflation. Now They Profit Big

Not this time — and that’s stoking profits for US lenders. The gap between what banks pay depositors and what they earn from lending money to borrowers hasn’t been so wide in the past half-century, with the average savings account paying a skimpy 0.06%.
