Treasury bonds aren't paying much at all. Other interest uses treasury yields as a baseline. Interest rates went down to promote economic recovery. Lower interest [hopefully] causes money to shift from financial investments to investments which grow the broader economy. Some money does, some money just finds more risky or overcrowded investments.
