28 day US T-Bills are paying an investment rate of 5.421%
91 day US T-Bills are paying an investment rate of 5.509%.
10 year US T-Notes are paying an investment rate of 4.289%
20 and 30 year T Bonds are paying only slightly better than the 10 year note.
Short term loans to the government are paying more than long term loans to the government.
That's the inverted yield curve in words rather than a graph.

That's why people/companies/governments are lending to us.
