FlaSoxxJim Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Didn't Ted Turner donate $1 billion toward reducing the debt a few years ago, back when he had that kind of money lying around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that he sent money towards paying down the USs debt in the UN when Clinton was refusing to pay our dues IIRC. I could be wrong there.
