You're comparing a risk-free rate (government bonds) with a rate on risky investments. Not really comparable at all. You can also find high-yield bonds (aka junk bonds) denominated in USD.

Also real interest rates are set by the market not governments. Monetary policy has, at best, only small effects on real rates (in theory it should have none).
