The 🇺🇸 U.S Treasury Department wants you to Venmo it to help with the $36.65 trillion national debt.

On Wednesday, NPR’s Jack Corbett pointed out that there was an option on Pay.gov, the Treasury’s online payment platform, where Americans could go to throw their Venmo dollars at the gargantuan national debt. You can also use PayPal. The page is titled “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt.”

The expansion of payment options comes amid growing public concern over the debt, which has surged from $19.59 trillion in 2010 to its current level, an increase of 87%, according to the Treasury Department.

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.

Samson Mow, CEO of Bitcoin technology firm JAN3, compared the effort to “sending Bitcoin to a burn address.”

President Donald Trump’s recently enacted “Big, Beautiful Bill” is projected to add an additional $3.4 trillion to the debt over the next decade, according to the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office.

The legislation prompted a public dispute between Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who criticized the bill for raising the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

Despite the Treasury’s new push for public donations, the scale of the debt continues to raise questions about the sustainability of US fiscal policy and the effectiveness of such symbolic gestures.

Broke ass nation! Evil nation 🇺🇸 👿

This is why they used Ukraine to fight Russia, hoping to split Russia in the end and take control of Russia's vast resources. To be able to pay off their debts.

Russia has over $75 trillion worth of untapped resources. Excluding the ones in the newly liberated territories in Ukraine.

And untop of all that, only $280 billion debt. The lowest among white nations. Even lower than some African nations.

$36,000,000,000,000 with nothing to show for it in last 2 decades.

Capitalism is evil.

China needs to buy the US. It’s glaring they cannot govern themselves.

All that GDP bla bla bla na cover up.

Only exists on a computer screen. It's the same way they valuate their companies and corporations. Just one comment from an influential person can wipe off billions from a company's worth.

Does that appear real to you?

They are bankrupt really and should

1) Close all their foreign bases
2) Stop giving what they do not have ie borrowing to give aid or printing paper to give as aid to Africa, Asia and Isreal.
3) Stop borrowing to finance war in Ukraine
4) Stop borrowing to finance genocide in Palestine
5) Stop borrowing to fund regime change or terrorism
6) Agree austerity measures with world bank.

The citizens follow you chop the money ni?

The military industrial complex continues to receive an astronomical portion of the annual budget without due diligence.

All the major contractors are fat cats with multiple homes and yachts, but you want the common man who continues to live from paycheck to paycheck to contribute like a congregant in a fake church.

If ah sama your head.

Very smart move

Only a popular government can do this

I think Alex Otti should take this as encouragement to do the same

My ideas to Igbo governors is to tell our son and daughters... Any street or road you construct would be named after you or anyone you wish . This would results in the construction of 60% of streets and internal roads in the South East minimum
