In case you're wondering, here's how the rate is computed:
Composite rate =
I bought $10k in denominations of 2,3, 5 so if I want to cash out I can do it in chunks instead of having to cash out $10k.: Better than any CD or bank rate if you want to stay in cash.

So for all practical purposes, one should assume US government will not default.
And, remember one has to hold them AT LEAST 12 months, so if the inflation number goes to 0%, you can't just cash them out in six months. Also, if you sell them between I think 12 months and 60 months, whatever the period you don't accrue the last 90 days of interest. So, there is essentially a 60 month holding period in order to get any full months/years of interest accrual. So, just be informed.
Below is some information directly from TD.gov
Rates & Terms
I bonds have an annual interest rate derived from a fixed rate and a semiannual inflation rate.
Interest, if any, is added to the bond monthly and is paid when you cash the bond.
I bonds are sold at face value; i.e., you pay $50 for a $50 bond.

"People" can spend as much money as they want. As long as the money supply stays the same, there will be no impact to inflation. The current inflationary period began when the government started printing money like there's no tomorrow.
