Offer Treasury bonds with a better return

(UNEDITED) I received an e-mail the other day from a friend showing some WW-II Posters of when we were asked to "Buy Bonds." Many will remember those days. The thought passed my mind that maybe this might be a partial solution to this county's financial dilemma. If our congress would think about offering a decent return in 5 or 10 years on bonds purchased now when interest rates in banks and credit unions are nearly worthless, maybe the nation could get itself out of this sorry mess that we are in. Just a thought.
