Financing the Debt
Why does the debt sometimes decrease?
The Public Debt Outstanding decreases when there are more redemptions of Treasury securities than there are issues.

•You can make a contribution online either by credit card, checking or savings account at Pay.gov

Gifts to the United States Government
How do I make a contribution to the U.S. government?
Citizens who wish to make a general donation to the U.S. government may send contributions to a specific account called "Gifts to the United States." This account was established in 1843 to accept gifts, such as bequests, from individuals wishing to express their patriotism to the United States. Money deposited into this account is for general use by the federal government and can be available for budget needs. These contributions are considered an unconditional gift to the government. Financial gifts can be made by check or money order payable to the United States Treasury and mailed to the address below.

Send it to anyone who thinks MORE TAXES should be imposed on the citizens of this nation RICH or poor. You have a family member, friend, co-worker etc saying “they should pay more” show this page, show the info from the Bureau of Public Debt(BPD), IRS and simply say “PAY UP or SHUTUP”! Post this info on every Facebook and Twitter account you come in contact with where this lie of class warfare is being waged, where people are saying “its time for the rich to start paying more”. Challenge those saying the rich should pay more to pay more themselves first! CALL THEIR BLUFF with these websites.
Oh and Hollywood one more thing, please shut the hell up! I’m running out of things to watch on TV or in the theater after you taint your work with your radical beliefs... and they wonder why no one watches the big networks anymore and movie sales are dropping!!
