Shit! I want to donate but I blew all of my money on Trump's recent trip to Scotland.
How is this real?
We've gone off the rails
Can’t buy yaoi on steam, but this is somehow totally acceptable and inoffensive.
I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
Wouldn't it be more effective to make the wealthy and corporations pay tax?
Blasphemy!
Straight to jail!
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
And what class is usually in control of the government?
The debt of the nation are the income and assets of the 1%. They don't want the debt to disappear.

So the US tax code is switching to a "Pay what you want" model?
Rich people: "Switching?"
Honestly it would be cool if Americans could choose how their money is used. Have a base tax plus you choose 3 programs out of 10.
When I was a kid, I assumed that was how it worked. When I found out it wasn't, my reaction was something like, "then what even is a democracy?"
"and to the republic for which it stands"
Not a democracy : /
Ultra Rich: "Pay?"
US government loan forgiveness 🤣
Might as well start a GoFundMe at this point. I heard people nowadays will throw tons of money at fascists.
The news is basically free Only Fans where I get to see Americans get fucked by their government.

That sounds just like taxes, but with extra steps.
Except you already pay taxes this is just to bleed the poor dry faster, qnd drip barely anything towards the debt so they can claim the finances are fine, to keep the real government happy, investors.
It is voluntary

In Bill Lumbergh's voice: If every American could just chip in $100k that would be greeaat.
I want to see who donates. they can't make something like that and then not let us laugh at whoever does it
I feel like it would be better to stop creating even more dept...
sorry, liberul the Child Fucker High Score has no breaks and neither does the national IOU. Excuse me, I have some national park land to go sell

I'm pretty sure they're already getting 30% from my gross. Plus I somehow owe them an additional few grand every year.

i would pay for a exclusive, patron only, early access to the Epstein files, no gimmicks
As of Q1 2025 US household debt was $18.2 trillion dollars. This is like a guy who lives in a van down by the river asking a homeless guy to help him make his van payments.
Even worse - a guy who lives in a big, white house asking it of a guy who lives in a van down by the river.

Its funny because the largest holder of US debt is social security. So most of the debt is owed to the workers. You are paying the money back you borrowed in the first place.
Starving children and invading countries comes with a cost! Help the state that hates you!
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.
We're all just trying to find the guy responsible!
Franklin D. Roosevelt?
