Rep. David Schweikert(@RepDavid):At a 5% average interest rate, $63 trillion in debt means about $3.15 trillion a year just to pay interest. By 2036, that could consume roughly 56% of federal revenue outside payroll taxes. That’s interest fragility. Eventually you’re borrowing just to cover the cost of past borrowing.
