Which bonds are issued by the U.S. government?

The U.S. government issues several types of bonds, primarily including Treasury bills (T-bills), Treasury notes (T-notes), and Treasury bonds (T-bonds). T-bills are short-term securities maturing in one year or less, while T-notes have maturities ranging from two to ten years. T-bonds are long-term securities with maturities of 20 to 30 years. Additionally, the government also issues Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) to help protect investors from inflation.
