War bonds are debt securities issued by a government for the purpose of financing military operations during times of war. War bonds generate capital for the government and make civilians feel involved in their national militaries. This system is also useful as a means of controlling inflation in such an overstimulated economy by removing money from circulation until hopefully after the war is concluded. Exhortations to buy war bonds are often accompanied with appeals to patriotism and conscience. Government-issued war bonds tend to have a yield which is below market value and are often made available in a wide range of denominations to make them affordable to all citizens.

A. The government advertised buying war bonds and used patriotic pictures on them to convince people to support the war financially. Some were drawn by Norman Rockwell, a very famous artist who drew the covers for Saturday Evening Post magazine. You can probably see examples on line somehow. Google war bonds, war bond posters, norman rockwell, world war II fund raising...Sorry I can't do more.

A. This country needs to find ways to transfer the debt payments from going to foreign interest and have the money come back into our economy. If that means paying higher interest on bonds to Americans it is a better way to go than chocking the economy by adding taxes. While they waste billions throwing money at the failed school system they should try and get the young interested in savings. Why not return to the days when there was pride in this country. Our last shot at that was during the Reagan years. The Clowns now in Washington ignore the will of the people and concentrate on personal gains. Theirs.
