		Bonds issued by government agencies, such as mortgage-backed bonds, are not quite as risk-free as bonds issued by the government itself (although they are still pretty high on the safety ladder), so they usually pay a bit more (perhaps one or two percentage points at most) in interest than government bonds do.
		Another advantage that treasuries (and some bonds issued by government agencies) have is that the interest you receive is not taxed at the state or local level.
