The US Treasury Department is now accepting Venmo and PayPal payments from those who want to donate money to reduce the nation’s ballooning $36.7 trillion debt.

    I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.

      I don’t think that is the case

      It has more to do with 50-100 years of reckless spending

      The debt of the nation are the income and assets of the 1%. They don’t want the debt to disappear.

        One of the most astute comments I’ve ever read.
