In a move that’s akin to the time you gave back your $5 allowance to help your parents with the mortgage payments, Americans have dug into their own pockets to contribute $7.7 million in 2012 to help pay down our national debt. Even though that amount is just a wee drop in a ginormous bucket, it’s the thought that counts, right?
We’re the most generous toward our national debt than we’ve been in years — and we’ve given double the amount we did in 2011, reports CNNMoney. Donations are usually about $3 million a year since 2009.
“So this is obviously a big jump,” said a spokeswoman for the Bureau of the Public Debt.

What an idiotic investment! That's like giving grocery money to a crack whore thinking that maybe this time she'll spend it on groceries!
