If you want to help with the economy, don't consider the national debt your debt. While they might divide it by the amount of people and say each citizen would have to pay a certain amount, no one needs to, or in most cases, does pay pure capital for the national debt.

BUY STUFF! Maybe go to a restaurant. Sales tax is one factor. But then there is the business, which uses your money to pay the food manufacturers. That pays the food processing employees, and keeps them employed so they can pay taxes too. Your tip means the waiter or waitress has cash to go buy something, which is taxed. It keeps the business open, and paying income/property taxes. Those taxes feed the institutions that keep the government and the country running.

A variation of trickle-down economics. Sort of.

Actually, sales tax is state legislated not national. Property tax is a county (or parish) tax. Understand that the national debt is money owed by the federal government (such as bonds or treasury bills owned by people and institutions throughout the world).
