[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] The US Debt is 36 trillion and if you divide that by the number of people in the US (340M), that’s just $105 per person.   Of course that includes kids and the poor, but I’d be happy to give a one time contribution of $420 dollars to pay down the debt.  And I’d be willing to double or triple that to cover other families.

Why can’t we have a massive national fundraiser to deal with the debt problem and start with a clean slate budget-wise?  Also, politicians could donate any campaign surpluses to pay off debt.  The mega rich could donate large sums as well.

There should be a mechanism to ensure any donated dollars would go directly to paying off the national debt.

Isn’t this doable?

Uh…Can we start with the grifters in the White House who don’t have their name on a single hospital, or library, or school, or arts center, despite being some of the wealthiest people in the US. There’s something like 11 billionaires in the cabinet. When they shell out, I might consider it. Right now I just want to pay zero taxes, since I don’t get anything for it now. [/quote]
