The american government, desparite to remove the british from america, came up with the idea to createsavings bonds. by doing this they were able to pay off all debts to britan and other countries (france, the netherlands, ect). but they didnt so much pay off the debts as they did transfer them to the american people who bought the bonds. the government is in debt to its self , and the american people who hold bonds. how can trillions of dollars in debt be good? it makes the american people who hold bonds and such have a real say in the government. the government is fincially dependant on the people of america and it creates one government for the people. and for all you people knocking on bush shut the fuck up, bush is dumb but he got elected, dont elect somone then bitch about him sucking in office, its your own damn fault, and if you didnt vote for him, then you may see that american republicanism is bullshit, leave the country, and if your too young to vote and think bush is a tyrant your a fucking dipshit becuase no decision he makes effects your little punk ass. ive been gone watcin yall for too long, had to drop a line
The gov borrows from the world bank and from other countries along with savings bonds.

Even though a person may be to young to vote doesn't mean that Bushes decisions don't effect them. The stuff he has done will effect our grandchildren who arn't even born yet

Dipshit.
