Errr you can’t just hand the government money randomly. You have to owe it to them. It all has to add up in some way and be accounted for.

- slang800 7y agoThat's not true. There's a system for sending gifts to the treasury right here: https://fiscal.treasury.gov/public/gifts-to-government.html https://fiscal.treasury.gov/public/gifts-to-government.html
- NeedMoreTea 7y agoIt's a funny and forgotten relic. Many countries had similar schemes from around the same era. There was a fashion to bequeath part of your estate to the government "to pay down the national debt". It was thought the patriotic thing to do. Obviously little impact was made on national debts. :)
- atonse 7y agoWow I truly learned something new, thanks :-)

- docdeek 7y agoYou can make a gift to the government to pay down the debt - they even take PayPal. https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/23779454 https://www.pay.gov/public/form/start/23779454
