I wonder if interest on the debt will ever start to limit new government spending or will the printing presses continue until we become Argentina?

If you want to get technical, it's not government spending as such.

It government spending money they don't have.

“Where does all that money come from, Mr Answers?”

“Why, Jimmy, when government prints money there is inflation always following behind and so that money comes out of my savings and your piggy bank and Uncle Sam doesn’t have to even dirty his hands anymore to tax us but can simply take the value of our money and use it to buy votes and keep people in Congress.”
