Problem is that unless it's actually the *Tbills* themselves, the state of Oregon takes a big chunk of the interest. Drops a 5% yield to a 4.5% yield real fast. And there's zero reason why I shouldn't be able to hold it in Tbills. They're supposedly supremely liquid and riskless, but Interactive Brokers has a minimum $1M block size, and Treasury Direct ties you up for 45 days! I guess I could work on setting up a rolling schedule of 52 week Tbills, having only 1/8 of my bills parked at Treasury Direct at any given moment. But I suspect there's a simpler solution.
