Don't worry, no one expects you to buy a $10,000 US treasury note. You
don't have the money, and even if you did....

If they paid fairly, and had 2x inflation guaranty, I would buy 10 or 20
lots. But they don't pay worth crap. Not even enough to cover a small
fraction of inflation+taxes.

So screw them. 1% isn't an investment, it is stupid depreciating paper
issued from a bankrupt government and depreciating currency.

Unlike Moody and S&P which are frauds anyway, I also account for future
value, and after 10 years of inflation they are worth less than you
started with. Junk paper.
