In what cases would it ever make sense to "donate" to this? I ask this not to be silly, I really am genuinely curious if anyone actually does this, and for what reasons.
- mmanfrin 14y agoThere was a Planet Money (I think) episode that mentioned this. Their number were about $7 million a year on average, but that this last year or two have seen record (i.e., maybe 2x) donations.
- eli 14y agoIs your question why do people care about the public debt? Or why they bother making a contribution that is small relative to the problem?
- stfu 14y agoSlightly different - why do they think that there money is better distributed by faceless bureaucrats where they could themselves direct it to the causes they think need it the most.
