It would be interesting to see how much the Treasury receives in donations from all the wealthy liberals in Hollywood.

We could do something like “Pennies for Payoff” where we all send in a penny taped to a piece of paper.

Oh wait, that means I would blow a stamp…nah. Nevermind.

F*** ‘em, Let these damn libs and dims who love taxes and spending volunteer to pay or donate as much as they want. Hell, if they give enough maybe Barry and Timmy will pose for a picture with those patriots.

Well lets see… I can give them my 2 cents worth.

The time it will take an employee to open that, read the letter and examine the check is far more than 2 cents.

To process it properly will take time, effort and computer power, plus approval from a superior.

If they cash it they have spent far more than 2 cents.

If they reject it with a letter they get to pay postage, pay for the paper and toner, have someone electroscript an official’s signature and then check it off the list to out-process it.

Why yes, you can make them spend more than your donation and still give them your 2 cents worth. And while the cost of sending includes postage on my part, that is still eaten up in the first person opening and processing the letter.

And yet 2 cents is the cost of about half a round of .22lr… decisions, decisions…

Voluntarily give them more money? Right. Cause they do such a good job already managing the money I pay in taxes.

Wonder where they are?

Guess they are visiting the web site so they can donate all their money to the government.

They do such a fine job of leading by example.

Little Timmy Geithner is still to chicken to put his signature on any bills. – What a waste… $12 for my tax cheat stamp… haven’t been able to use it yet!

Send them a check for $1.00 – Will cost more to process it than it is worth.

Great idea. Let the useful idiots in Hollywood pony up, too. I bet George Clooney, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, Danny Glover, et al have the funds to put a nice dent in that debt number. Let them put their money where their mouth is.

Why not just default on the debt. Everyone’s walking away from their mortgages, I say the govt do the same. What’s China going to do invade us or something?

angryed on November 13, 2009 at 8:04 AM

That IS the only solution. Better sooner than later since Obama’s destroying our military from within. But Obama only has the temerity to destroy America, to defy our Constitution and impede conservatism while cowing to the international scene to pretty please kiss his bony @ss. So China has over 3 years to prepare its response to any such default, as if they are not already trained for such. China’s response will be worse than America is or will be prepared to confront and defend given China tolerates no “diversity” and America tolerates no unity. China already has the ability and power to sabotage our entire war machine that it now builds and sells to us. Computer chip = Achilles heel.

Build here. Build now.
