I haven't crunched the numbers, but a million dollars thrown into the Treasury will probably slow the growth of the national debt by a fraction of a second. I doubt it. Every dollar of revenue the government gets is an excuse to increase spending by more than a dollar.
Frankly, what I'd like to see (never happen, though) would be for someone to publicly oppose the Republicans' tax cuts on the basis that they would increase government revenue, thereby increasing government's tendency to spend like drunken sailors.

I have learned the hard way: put money away in untouchable investments before it ever makes it into the joint checking account. I wonder if we could do something similar for the drunken sailors of Washington.
