US treasuries are issued by the federal government and consist of Treasury Bills, Treasury Notes, and Treasury Bonds. The proceeds from these securities are used to fund government programs, and the interest earned by the purchaser of the treasuries is exempt from state and local taxes. US treasuries are considered to be a very conservative type investment with low returns based on the relatively low amount of risk assumed.
