Woman leaves entire estate to pay down national debt

FINDLAY, Ohio The federal government is reaping a one-point-one (m) million-dollar windfall from the estate of an Ohio woman. But the money comes with specific instructions.

Margaret Taylor's will says the government has to use her fortune to help pay down the national debt.

A spokesman for the Treasury Department says it may be their largest donation ever.

Taylor died in November at age 98. She told her family that she planned to use her money to help people, but didn't reveal her plans.

1. I guess that was nice, but frankly, it would have been better going

to a homeless shelter or food pantry or something like that. With Bush in office, the Natinoal Debt will just keep going up.

2. She could have donated her money directly to Halliburton.

Cut out the middleman.

3. Oh well...it's the thought that counts

since banks profit off that debt and are reaping in the benefits of the bankruptcy bill, she could have just told the bank, "Keep it."
