Treasury Bonds also help the consumer. When there is a great demand for bonds, it lowers the interest rate because the U.S. government doesnt have to offer as much to attract buyers. Lower interest rates on bonds means lower interest rates on mortgages. This allows homeowners to afford more expensive homes.
