I dont have to worry about the dow contracting with a treasury bond.
Point to a five year period in which the DOW ended lower than when it started.
If you’re operating at the scale of a high yield treasury, you’d be far better off in the market over the long term.
I dont disagree, but nothing about what you have said invalidates what I had stated. Set it and forget it is the point. Give it to your grandkids.

You could do the same with shares in Berkshire or a S&P index fund, to better effect.
Especially at the scale of “national economy”, if you’re betting on Treasuries you are effectively betting on the economy as a whole. Just at a lower potential yield.
