Would that actually work? I would buy the bond and sell them right away, because they are worthless. Waiting for them to mature is a losing proposition.

If they used bonds you could not touch them. The kid could do whatever he wants once he/she hit 18 but not before.

Correction I think its actually $9... from what I can recall its roughly 1/4 of the outstanding debt. A ton of it has come due along with higher interest rates they are having to issue more it was a wild thing to read about tbh

Spending has ballooned since 2020. Imagine how much better the USA would have been if we ignored the pandemic and just kept living our lives.
