T-bill interest income is also exempt from state income taxes.

No need to keep money in banks. I worry that if Treasury Direct gets too popular causing a drain on bank liquidity that the program might become discontinued.

Re Treasury Direct - I am also vey happy using that outlet to park large amounts of cash, No one gets a commission so you don't read about in the press or hear about it from the touts. The I-bonds are paying 6+% currently, and that is tax deferred.
