The government is giving them credit that doesn't exist.
Unless each individual taxpayer is actually ponying up the dollars to purchase these shares the tax payer is buying absolutely nothing. There is nothing to "give back".
It'll be your great great grandkids who pay for any non returned bonds.
You want shares you can buy them right now.
Government doesn't have to hold your hand.
My previous vehicle to my current one was a Pontiac Grand Am. 340,000 miles.
Gave it to a nephew for school, he traded it in on a Miata when he graduated and started working.
