So with new tax cuts for billionaires causing a growing national debt this is like giving money to billionaires. I can't believe there are people dumb enough to do this ...
-
was my thought. help pay down the national debt so we have more head room to lower taxes for the wealthy some more.

Isn't that what DOGE was supposed to do by cutting waste?
-
Lol. Do you do stand-up?

Shitty misleading headline, which implies a shitty misleading news organization. Reading it, I assumed the Orange Dipshit is so desperate to reduce the national debt that the OD is now begging on the streets for a dollar.
Looking into it, donating to pay off national debt has been a thing for fucking decades. It's a pretty useless program that spent more over the decades dealing with it than the peasly voluntary taxation it's pulled in.
Nonetheless, the OD expanding the program to include Venmo and then a news org shouting "Trump is really asking people to Vennmo to pay off the national debt" implying how they do is misleading and gross.

This is the most oniony not the onion I've ever seen. This thing reeks of pungent onions.

I knew that this existed for a long time. I didn't know that you can use Venmo or PayPal now. It seems that wasn't possible in the past. I also knew that money you use for this purpose is probably tax deductible, though only in the same way that a gift to a charity would be: https://dontmesswithtaxes.typepad.com/dont_mess_with_taxes/2010/04/voluntary-payments-to-the-ease-the-public-debt.html

I read this too... This post should be removed for bullshit. It may be the original articles headline... but the headline is complete and utter garbage.
I mean it's true that Venmo was not an option to donate money there prior to Trump's presidency. He probably has nothing to do with it, but who knows. Could have been Musks idea to update payment methods, or the last admin..
So people have paid off 0.00019% of the debt.. nice
I feel like it's the opposite of nice, well meaning people getting grifted by the state itself.
