What part of the bond financing the infrastructure makes no sense?

The effective cost of a bond is the difference between the bond interest and what you could earn investing that money.

For example, you have a $50K bond @ 4.5%. Instead of paying it off, take your bond money and purchase a 4.5% CD, the bond is now effectively costing 0%.
