    I will never help pay down the national debt willingly. The 1% did it, so they can pay it back.

    I don't think that is the case

    It has more to do with 50-100 years of reckless spending

      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

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

              Honestly it would be cool if Americans could choose how their money is used. Have a base tax plus you choose 3 programs out of 10.

              When I was a kid, I assumed that was how it worked. When I found out it wasn't, my reaction was something like, "then what even is a democracy?"

                  I'm so saddened I got down voted for my life of Brian quote from uncouth mouth breathers who didn't recognize it.

                      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.
