Let’s see:
$17,258,471,483,278.83 in debt X 10% interest rate = $1,725,471,483,278 in interest per year
Total actual revenue from all US income taxes collected in 2013 fiscal year was $1,589,900,000,000. ($1,316.4 B Individual Taxes and $273.5 B Corporate Taxes)
Any one see a problem in the future? Remember what rates Carter left us with!
