If this is happening everywhere, it would explain why the dealer financing APR on a few cars I was idly checking was over twice the APR we could get from our credit union. Always check your bank's auto loan options first, especially if it's a credit union! Dealer financing is often expensive.

When the United States has lost full faith and credit, we have lost everything. Our deficit financing will require higher and higher interest payments. These are idiots in the White House, unpatriotic, un-American, and traitors to the republic.
