Savings Bonds Purchase

Question: Are US Savings Bonds still safe to purchase?
I know it might sound silly, but…
Back in the day my grandma always got us one for each holiday, birthday and so on. When I cashed mine in at 27 I was able to put the down on my first house. I just do not know if they are as safe as they used to be in this economy . I want to start this same tradition with my little ones, but I am a little hesitant. Any thoughts?
Answer: Very much so. The safest investment/purchase you can make. They are backed by the full faith and credit of the government.
