If some fringe right Youtuber you follow says it's not Trump's fault for further deregulating the banking industry, who am I to say you're a gullible moron?

The most far reaching Wall Street reform in history, Dodd-Frank will prevent the excessive risk-taking that led to the financial crisis.

Are treasury bills a risky investment?

Treasury bills (T-bills) are generally considered to be one of the safest investments available. This is because T-bills are issued and backed by the U.S. government, which is considered to have one of the strongest credit ratings in the world.

T-bills are short-term debt securities with maturities of less than one year, typically ranging from four weeks to 52 weeks. They are sold at a discount from their face value and do not pay regular interest payments. Instead, investors earn a return by buying the T-bill at a discount and receiving the full face value of the security when it matures.

Because T-bills are considered to be very low-risk, they typically offer lower returns than other investments that carry more risk, such as stocks or corporate bonds. However, T-bills are still subject to some risks, such as inflation risk and interest rate risk.

Inflation risk is the risk that the purchasing power of the money invested in T-bills will be eroded over time due to inflation. Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in interest rates will affect the value of T-bills. If interest rates rise, the value of T-bills may decline, and if interest rates fall, the value of T-bills may rise.

Overall, while T-bills are not completely risk-free, they are generally considered to be a low-risk investment option that provides a predictable return.
