Because the US national debt recently crossed a historic $40 trillion milestone, investors are now asking for higher returns to buy this long-term debt. When regular long-term bonds feel uncertain, it is normal to look at different options to protect savings from inflation.

Many investors look for ways to manage this risk safely. For example, some look at safe home-loan papers backed by the government, called agency mortgage-backed securities, which can pay yields higher than 5.5%. Others prefer short-term government debt because it lets them keep their money safe without waiting many years.
