Ukraine has national debt 1000 per citizen. Even if I had this money, I would never gave even 1 cent. They made crap, they must solve it. I wasn't asking for credits in international banks.

A good source of revenue to extinguish national debt can be detected on this page.

If the country is in debt, how come so many people are paid over half a million a year in government salaries? It must be a pretty sweet deal to borrow money, pay it to yourself as a salary and then expect the whole nation of struggling unemployed people, you've screwed up to repay your debt for you.

I cant speak for all Canadians, but I think all Canadians agree getting our debt down is important! I never want to have to face what Greece is, Germany owns Greece now.

If I had cash lol I would have no problem in donating some to our debt.

Too bad I'm broke, but still have money for beer; so life is good!

Govt run by charity - what a good idea.

Now there's sound financial advice.

This reminds me of a video I saw recently.

I can't find it at the moment (I know, I know), but it was made by a pretty far-right campus group at UC Berkeley; much farther right than the College Republicans. In it they walked around campus, asking if students would be willing to pay off their share of the national debt, which I think was $49,000.

Most students said they would not be willing to pay it back, but I imagine they didn't include any footage of students saying they would pay it back.

No one of us owes anything to anyone. Some views about national debt:
