You can now Venmo the U.S. Treasury to help pay down the $36.7 trillion national debt. Yes, really.



It’s symbolic. It’s cute. It’s also irrelevant.

The entire “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt” program has raised just $67M since 1996 — that’s about 1.5 seconds of interest on current debt.

If this is how we’re addressing fiscal crisis in 2025, it says a lot about the system.

You don’t solve trillion-dollar problems with donations.

You solve them with discipline.
