US is accepting ‘gifts’ via Venmo, PayPal to reduce $36.7 trillion debt; leaves Americans fuming at ‘the audacity’

Several Americans were left fuming at the US government’s “audacity” in accepting “gifts” via Venmo and PayPal to reduce the country’s ballooning $36.7 trillion debt.

The US Treasury Department on Friday said that it is now accepting these digital payment platforms on the “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt” page on Pay.gov. The US public debt has increased by a whopping 87% from $19.59 trillion in 2010.
