US Debt Soars $734B, Now Accepts Venmo & PayPal Donations!

by

The United States, that paragon of fiscal responsibility, has taken a dramatic turn for the absurd: accepting Venmo and PayPal donations to curb its $36.95 trillion debt. One might say the government has finally embraced the modern age-just in time to drown in more debt. 💰🍕

From $36.215 trillion to $36.950 trillion in a month? A mere $734.59 billion, surely a trivial sum for a nation that once claimed to be “the land of opportunity.” 🤡

The Trump administration’s “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is set to add another $3 trillion, apparently because tax cuts are the cure-all for every economic ailment. The CBO, ever the pessimist, disagrees. The administration, ever the optimist, has politely disagreed. 🤷‍♂️

The U.S. Treasury, ever the innovator, has now added Venmo and PayPal to its arsenal of payment options, which previously included bank transfers and… credit cards. How modern! 🎉

Donors can now select their preferred method under “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt” on Pay.gov. A noble cause, if one ignores the fact that the government has only received $67.3 million in “gifts” since 1996. A single billionaire’s coffee habit could fund this. ☕

A certain NPR host, Jack Corbett, recently brought this delightful development to the attention of the masses on X, where it was met with the same enthusiasm as a tax audit. 🧑‍⚖️

And let us not forget: a year ago, the debt was $35.08 trillion. A completely reasonable figure, of course. 📉
