The current public debt is $4,599,795,468,342.59. Yeah, that's right 4 t-t-t-trillion. According to the Bureau of Public Debt, we citizens can help pay off that debt, and I don't mean with our tax dollars (let's face it, our tax dollars aren't going to pay off that debt either, but rather to pork barrel projects, but anyway). Here's the official wording from the Bureau:
Perhaps you'd like to help reduce the $4.6 public debt. If so, here are instructions:
Please follow these important steps to make a contribution to reduce the debt.
1. Make check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt.
2. In the memo section of the check, notate Gift to reduce Debt Held bythe Public.
3. Mail check to -ATTN DEPT G BUREAU OF THE PUBLIC DEBT PO BOX 2188 PARKERSBURG, WV 26106-2188
So, there you have it. After you've paid your taxes and tithed you can help with that debt. Just think, if everyone gave just one dollar......we'd still have astronomical debt. Oh for fiscal conservatism........

For a moment I thought you were actually going to propose that I send the federal government more of my hard-earned money to squander! Good one.
