When paying the interest on the national debt is more than our budget...it will cause some problems.
Current interest payment is $430 billion.
The proposed Defense budget for this year is $526 billion. We will soon be paying more in interest than for our national defense.
If some politician says they have some plan for fixing the budget and it does not include addressing the huge debt, they are feeding you a pile of shit.
what possible answer could there be to address a debt that size ? im intrigued which politician can pay off 18 trillion and what with and over how many years if if the interest alone is $430 billion and growing by the day ?
