I guess it is too late for the Penny Plan?

It will never happen but everything the gooberment spends needs to be on the budget axe table in one form or another. First cull is contractual obligation then need vs. want then changing contracts and cull some more.

What’s the problem? Just borrow another $1 trillion every year to pay that interest. It is, after all, “Modern Monetary Theory.”

And not just Ukraine.

Foreign aid over Americans.

Everything over Americans.

We were so fortunate to have Trump.

We are not paying the interest on the debt. It is just being added every year to the national debt. That is why the debt increases over a trillion dollars every year.

“It’s owned by the US government.”

Nope.

“Just WIPE the debt and be done with it!”

The reason they won’t do that is after you refuse to pay creditors nobody will loan you money anymore.

If you love spending other people’s money as much as Con-gress does that is like going cold turkey on a heroin addiction.

And who does all that “interest” go to, no one ever asks, do they.

It’s past time people start.

Glad I could help.

Toddster,

Is the $853 billion in interest payments fairly accurate?

I don’t have time right now to go through the monthly Treasury Statements for 2022. You’ve always been good at that sort of thing & I value your input.

MarMema,

I’m not sure what to make of it, its too early to tell IMO.

I will say that any drastic change in the current international financial system will have a drastic effect on multi generations.

Which leads me to believe that the political & economic leadership will use anything including duct tape to maintain “the normal.”

It’s all about Cloward Piven.

Not only is the debt itself still growing at record rates, the full impact of the newly increased interest rates hasn’t kicked in yet either, as a lot of this current interest being paid figure is still based on older borrowing rates that haven’t expired yet.

So it’ll be a double whammy when all debt interest starts getting calculated at the newer rates, which will take a few years, but but those rates remaining high appears inevitable based on historical trends.

It’s a vicious cycle that’s really just starting to accelerate.
