If you have an IOU from the US government for $100 it's worth about $99 on the open market.
If you have an IOU from a highly rated US company (e.g. Ford) for $100 you'd expect it to be worth about $94.

Oh and the US Government and Ford will probably pay you some form of interest if you hold it long enough...
It simply doesn't add up!
