      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.

    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!

    Someone posted elsewhere that this is a program that’s existed a long time, not from Trump, which would make it disingenuous to report on it as though its brand new.

    Might as well start a GoFundMe at this point. I heard people nowadays will throw tons of money at fascists.

      I’d gladly drop my entire net worth on Trump and all his cronies heads…as long as I am allowed to convert it all to pennies first.

    So the US tax code is switching to a “Pay what you want” model?

    Rich people: “Switching?”

    THAT"S NOT EVEN HOW THE FUCKING US DEBT WORKS!!! They owe YOU!! YES YOU!!! that money! You know your fucking income tax?? They are literally borrowing money from you for free and pay you back when you ask for it back with FORMS. You are literally letting them double dip, even TRIPLE dip your shit WITHOUT INTEREST. YOU ARE PAYING GRIFTERS through this dipshitted idea!!! You want to help pay the debt? Buy a fucking bond and let it mature! I’m losing my shit. Fuck this. I’m out. Don’t know where, probably to bed, but I’m out.
