Psychological fact people will walk right past an item they see marked to an even number but make it a penny less and they will buy. What the hell are they going to do now make it a nickel less?
While the total U.S. national debt is approximately $40.05 trillion they should do the same with the dollar bill as the American dollar is useless.
If every legally counted person in America gave $117, 349 to our federal govt. our country could be debt free. Do your part for our country give today. Wheelbarrow.jpg
