" The Treasury Department wants you to Venmo it to help with the $36.65 trillion national debt."

Here's a hint: just let the expiring tax giveaways expire.

There's $5 trillion right there.

Next, pass a law: no new or renewed tax cuts until we're running a surplus budget.

How about each time Trump uses his office for self-aggrandizement he gives Uncle Sam a little taste, say 33.33% (in real money) towards paying off the national debt?

How much are the millionaires and the billionaires sending?

If I had money to burn I'd send it to Stephen Colbert before I helped the mad king fill his and his billionaire buddies pockets with our hard earned money.

But I do have a few suggestions I'd like to send.

Where do I send my GFY to?

I love the picture. Lewzer brought a prop document to his "visit" to embarrass Powell with and had it shoved up his ass by reality. Powell's "WTF are you talking about?" expression is priceless.

He brings a knife to a gun fight every time.

So, anyone who does this donation is effectively giving money to the uber-wealthy?

#11 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-07-25 02:29 PM

Sorry America.

Republicans felt like giving billionaires another tax cut was more important than the future of our country.

It's worse.

EVERYONE who pays taxes is effectively giving their money to the uber-wealthy.

That $4-$5 trillion in new borrowing? NFW the rich are paying for that.

Tell you what I'll put in 20 dollars if you let me punch every cabinet member in the face.

Heck I'll go as high as 20 each.

Really? Really? Once more, give to the rich, steal from the poor... Doing the old reverse Robin Hood.

Seems like a direct deposit to Trump/Musk/Bezos would be more efficient. Since the cause of much of the debt is the GOP's fondness for giving tax cuts to billionaires that the rest of us have to pay for.

"I love the picture. Lewzer brought a prop document to his "visit" to embarrass Powell with and had it shoved up his ass by reality. Powell's "WTF are you talking about?" expression is priceless."

At the end of the clip I thought Powell actually said, "You don't know what you're talking about." A comment I thought was long overdue.

How much has "President" Trump "donated"?

How about NOT renewing massive tax cuts for the wealthy that got us in this mess in the first place?!!

#20 | Posted by AMERICANUNITY at 2025-07-26 04:40 PM

Sure, I'll get 30,000,000 of my closest friends to each pony up one million dollars.
Now, doesn't that sound ridiculous grifter DON.

Hopefully I used Danforth's calculator, and not Vernon's.
