Comments on: What does the government do with Savings Bond money? http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/where-does-the-money-go/ Sun, 14 Mar 2010 03:06:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Tom Adams http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/where-does-the-money-go/#comment-44830 Thu, 09 Jul 2009 13:55:24 +0000 http://www.savings-bond-advisor.com/where-does-the-money-go/#comment-44830 Eddy - Money is like water in that once it gets in the government's tank it's impossible to say what goes where. On the other hand, it's interesting to think of the Savings Bond program as later investors paying off early investors. Whether something is deemed a Ponzi scheme or not depends on whether it eventually fails. All we know is it hasn't failed yet, so it's not a Ponzi scheme yet.

This could suggest that some (not all) New Savings Bond money is spent on payment for Redeemed Bonds. Uncle Sam's ironic shell game. According to the Wikipedia link above:
