“Never go down in value” means that they are tax payer guaranteed. What he means is they never go down in face value. 30 years ago you could buy a candy bar for a quarter. Now they cost a dollar. So your matured savings bond is worth exactly 1/4 of it's original value when it is matured.
When I was a kid you could buy that same candy bar for a nickel. Actually I think they were bigger back then.

he signed an executive order directing Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew to establish the savings bonds. If he can create these bonds with an executive order, he can confiscate them under the same authority.
This is the act of a totalitarian dictator.
We no longer live in a Constitutional Republic. We are living in a dictatorship completely unmoored from any written constitution. We are living in ObamAmerica.

A baby ruth when I was a kid was half a foot long and an inch wide. And it was a nickel.
The whole thing about not losing face value is bogus.

Agitating class warfare thru the grating of hatred of those who have what you don’t.
Grinding this in to agitate class hatred, is Alinsky coming back to the surface.

This is the act of a totalitarian dictator.Do you know what is amazing?
Remember who was it, GWB's Treasury guy that recommended that either your SSI contribution or your Employers go to buy real Treasury Bills, Bonds and Notes not the phony IOU's in the SSI building in Late Senator Byrd's district and they raised Holy Hell?
Now he does this by EO and no one questions it?

“They have a phishing license to get you a fishing license.”
That’s right; as another FReeper has pointed out in the past, the last free people here are the illegals - no fishing or driving licenses, no taxes - just like the original settlers on the frontier...
