Require the Treasury to allow purchase of Paper Savings Bonds as well as electronic bonds

The Treasury Department confirms that 87 percent of savings bonds sold last year were in paper form. Paper bonds provide a tangible way for children, in particular, to learn about saving and investing. The elderly, not as computer-learned as the young, have found themselves disenfranchised after decades of giving their grandchildren bonds on their birthdays. The current policy is cost cutting at the expense of tradition - reducing a patriotic event to just another "banking transaction". Restore the paper bond and promote a faith in the American Dream.
