Yeah, I am not good with it. I feel as though the government is buying us. What ever happened to bonds? Didn’t we fight WWII on war bonds?

The government will be issuing bonds to cover the cost.

The U.S. government didn’t need war bonds to finance World War II.

The purpose of selling war bonds was to get people to give up their excess cash during the war, for the purpose of stifling black market activity for materials that were needed for the war effort.
