U.S. — As struggling American citizens finished filing their taxes this week, many expressed hope that their small contributions will be instrumental in getting the national debt down to a much more manageable $34 trillion.
"We know this national debt is a real problem, and we're just happy we can help out," said one couple who just spent the money they were saving for a car to pay an unexpectedly high tax bill for 2023. "We know the government is doing everything it can to use our money wisely and address the debt issue. That really makes the pain of paying taxes worthwhile."
Mike Johnson, the Republican in charge of all the nation's spending, echoed the sentiment. "Yeah I really want to do something about this debt. We'll be sure to address it after we've spent the necessary funds on Ukraine, Israel, Iran, Mexico, Canada, Haiti, Gaza, Saudi Arabia, entitlement spending, military spending, and every single earmark the Democrats want to spend money on. Whatever's left over, we'll totally throw at the debt. For sure."
At publishing time, the national debt had climbed to $36 trillion.

They’re just glad to get fleeced for all the overspending
It's written like we've seen many liberal outlets write about people doing things like get an EV to "do their part" about global warming and such. LOL
The government relies on the fact that few people can even imagine what a trillion is, let alone thirty of them.
Reducing the debt with our monies, will just signal the scumbag legislators to spend us back into debt, even more!
WE are only giving a drug addled Admin more money to spend on INVADERS/SQUATTERS
DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF.
Amazing lack of the grasp of the situation.
if you start counting continuously to a trillion when you first learn to speak, you will die of old age before you get to a trillion.
They’ll take the taxes and borrow MORE and MORE and MORE
And in just a few months, the Trump tax laws will expire. Can’t wait for people to go back to the old rules. Probably won’t be much complaining, will there?
