What would motivate you to believe that donating more of your money than necessary to the pot would be absolutely necessary? A flawless track record of responsible government spending?


I addressed the fact that we have a spending problem and recognize the fact that 16 trillion isn't going to pay itself off. I get something iron clad that says they are serious about paying the debt off and I'll happily contribute more than I currently do. Because, you know, it isn't going to pay itself off.
