Presidents Day Gift
For those feeling patriotic on Presidents Day, I found this helpful address on the U.S. Treasury website:
"How do you make a contribution to reduce the national debt?
Make your check payable to the Bureau of the Public Debt, and in the memo section, notate that it is 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"
As of February 14, 2008, the National Debt was $9,291,899,089,252.55 so a gift of $2.56 will get it back under $9,291,899,089,250.
