Better to just burn the money; at least you can keep warm that way, maybe cook some hot dogs.

Shit! I want to donate but I blew all of my money on Trump's recent trip to Scotland.
Just wait a bit until his NFT takes off
For those who didn't read the article:
The donation program has existed since 1996, with a total of $67.3 million contributed — an amount that remains negligible compared to the federal debt.
The only new thing is more convenient donation methods.
Wouldn't it be more effective to make the wealthy and corporations pay tax?
Straight to jail!
I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.
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?"
Ultra Rich: "Pay?"

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.

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

I'm pretty sure they're already getting 30% from my gross. Plus I somehow owe them an additional few grand every year.
Speaking of, anyone else find it funny (read blatantly obvious) that you cant choose a tax amount this year on your W4? Used to be able to select withholding amount, now its just "We'll figure it out for you". I bet they were afraid of everyone marking 0 this year.

Trump’s name is circled. The circled individuals are the ones involved in the trafficking ring according to the person who originally released the book. These people would be “The List “ Here is the story.

Feel free to do your part and spread this info around so it is never “lost”.
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.
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.
Debt per capita is $108k. Median net worth is 121k. Median savings: $600. Yeah, this is something for the upper percentiles. The majority of the population can't make a dent in the national debt.
How is this real?
We've gone off the rails
I want to see who donates. they can't make something like that and then not let us laugh at whoever does it

US government loan forgiveness 🤣
In Bill Lumbergh's voice: If every American could just chip in $100k that would be greeaat.
Can’t buy yaoi on steam, but this is somehow totally acceptable and inoffensive.
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!

I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
I think those donations were from decades ago. Apparently the likes of Copeland's "church" needs staff to bring boomers to the front so it looks like loads on tv
Amazed an NYPost article isn't getting more scrutiny on Lemmy
But either way it appears to be verified by multiple other sources
