Sure sounds like a no-brainer doesn't it? In principal though, no new tax. Just because a precedent has been set doesn't make it right.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

Any takers? I didn't think so. ;)
