From the Today In History column for July 9th:
"1795: American banker and businessman James Swan paid off $2,024,899 in national debt that the United States owed to France, which was amassed during the American Revolution."
Billionaires don't beg for tax breaks.THEY PAY OFF THE NATIONAL DEBT! Time to step up to the plate!!
But just imagine how much $2 million was in 1795.
