    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.

    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.

      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.

        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?"

                        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.

                          In Bill Lumbergh's voice: If every American could just chip in $100k that would be greeaat.

                                      I mean, they do have a voting block that regularly donates to televangelists... Those extra private jets have to come from somewhere.
