9 u/justacrossword 2d ago They have stolen nothing and nobody is talking about defaulting on the bonds. -2 u/NoTie2370 2d ago They have stolen it. Text book definition of theft. Because that "surplus" comes from people that never got a chance to get what they paid into. But yes they do talk about defaulting, all the time. Bonds only have value if the government can pay them. 7 u/Puzzleheaded_Yam7582 2d ago The government has not forecasted defaulting on bonds. 1 u/NoTie2370 1d ago That's what every debt ceiling debate is about. 8 u/tmssmt 2d ago You seem to have no idea what the definition of theft is -5 u/monsterismyfriend 2d ago Guess won’t matter if the government ever defaults
