🚨🇺🇸 America may have a bit of a spending problem... Here’s a breakdown of the interest on U.S. debt: •⁠ ⁠$932 BILLION: U.S. payments on federal debt in the first 10 months of FY 2026 •⁠ ⁠$1.1 TRILLION: Projected amount in debt payments for FY 2026 •⁠ ⁠$3.1 BILLION: Amount of interest paid per DAY •⁠ ⁠~$300 BILLION: Approximate annual debt payments back in both 2020 and 2021 •⁠ ⁠3.2%: Highest amount of impact to GDP since 1991 Interest payments are up $90 billion over last year, and triple the figures of 2020 an '21. I thought this would start trending DOWN when Republicans gained control of the White House and both chambers of Congress... guess not. Writer: Jamie
