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.
