    Savings bonds could be help in economic crisis!

    While Washington tries to “fix” the banking and Wall Street mess created by subprime “gotcha” adjustable rate mortgages defaulting en masse, many of us are looking for a safer place to put at least some of our retirement, college funds, etc.

    And we also want our country to become more energy-independent and our crumbling infrastructure repaired. But with things as they are, how can we accomplish these three objectives? A new form of U.S. Treasury savings bonds could be the answer.

    Without U.S. saving bonds, we wouldn’t have been able to supply our troops and allies like we did in World War II. If the U.S. Treasury issued energy independence and infrastructure savings bonds that paid an interest rate about 3 percent greater than the annualized FED rate adjusted for inflation, only be redeemable on their anniversary date(s), and what they pay is not taxed when they are redeemed at maturity, all three of these objectives can be achieved without any increase in taxes — especially if these funds were only employed as 1-to-2 matching funds.

    Such bonds could increase employment enough to even reduce our taxes. Pass this idea on to your friends and then the politicians.
