When you buy a Treasury Bond, you are lending money to the government, and I believe it does basically go into the general fund. So in effect, that is what happens.

But it goes in the general fund in the same way that money from China or Grandma's gift does - to be paid back later with interest. Not in the same way that income tax does.
