đš $1 Trillion in Just Interest â The U.S. Debt Time Bomb
For the first time, the U.S. will pay over $1 trillion in interest on the national debt in FY 2025.
By the numbers:
· 2020: $345 billion in interest
· 2025: $1+ trillion â
· 2035: Projected $1.8 trillion to $2.2 trillion
The national debt hit $38 trillion** â now equal to 100% of GDP.
It grew **$1 trillion in just two months.
Why this matters:
Thatâs money that doesnât build infrastructure,fund schools, or create jobs.
It just pays bondholders for money we already borrowed.
When the government borrows trillions, it pushes up interest rates for everyone â
Thatâs why mortgages and credit cards stay painfully high.
Warnings from the top:
· Jamie Dimon
· Jerome Powell
· Ray Dalio â who calls this trajectory a potential economic âheart attack.â
Weâre in a feedback loop:
More debt â higher interest payments â more borrowing â less fiscal space.
This doesnât end well unless something changes.
