    Worldwide, approximately four and a half billion Visa debit cards.and credit cards have been issued. They are accepted by more than 130,000,000 merchants and businesses – but those merchants and businesses pay Visa a "processing fee," also known as a "swipe fee," on every transaction. It ranges from 1.4% to 2.5%. Many businesses have raised prices to cover those fees – and the Department of Justice is not happy.

    US Justice Department accuses Visa of illegal monopoly that adds to the price of ‘nearly everything’

    In a statement, DIRECTV – which will assume Dish Network's $9.9 billion debt – said the acquisition will allow the company to offer "smaller content packages to consumers at lower prices." That falls under the categfory of "We'll believe it when we see it.".

    Average rent is now $1,556 per month. Average price of a gallon of gasoline is now $3.17. (California has the highest price: $4.68.) Average price of a dozen large eggs is $3.61. Price has risen recently because of outbreaks of bird flu. The culling of millions of chickens has resulted in low supplies of eggs.
