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.”
Strangely, I don’t feel my priorities are reflected in any budget passed during my lifetime, and so I don’t feel the need to donate. I say “strangely”, as I tend to follow Socrates’ thoughts on the matter. Just not here. Guess my limits are low.
