The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I am at the "dire warning" end of the spectrum, but I think that there is no particular risk to T-bills or bonds for US persons.

For non-US persons the story may be a bit different. Google recent articles mentioning "treasuries user fee".

US-person or not, money market funds are very much higher risk than T-bills, for a host of reasons.
