The 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.”
Yep, whoops, trillions is bigger than i expected, off by a few decimals. Guess we’re just in debt 🤷♀️
I think the technical term is fucked, but yeah.
Eh, it’s all made up anyway. When you’re in debt a few thousand dollars, thats your problem. When you’re in debt billions or trillions of dollars, that’s their problem, whoever loaned you the money.
