From Frequently Asked Questions about the Public Debt

How do you make a contribution to reduce the debt?

There are two ways for you to make a contribution to reduce the debt:

• You can make a contribution online either by credit card, checking or savings account at Pay.gov
• You can write a check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in the memo section, notate that it's a Gift to reduce the Debt Held by the Public. Mail your check to:
  
  Attn Dept G
  Bureau of the Public Debt
  P. O. Box 2188
  Parkersburg, WV 26106-2188

In fiscal year 2010 a total of $2,840,466.75 was donated. That's about 0.00002% of the government debt. Woo-hoo, what a windfall.

People who believe they should pay more tax can also simply choose to not take deductions, looholes and credits to reduce their taxable income

More relevant, what percentage of this year's deficit alone would that cover?

Haven't these naive pollyanas figured out that the elected criminals can always spend it faster than we can provide it?

Including raises to themselves, of course.
