"Real interest cost of the debt."

"...net interest costs..."

Does that mean the inflation adjusted cost of interest rates?

If inflation is 3%, and interest rates are just 4.5%, then, $36 trillion of debt is OK?

"If it remains at this level"

Sorry for the duplicate.

The story updated while I was posting, and I had to go back and make changes.

Please pull my CNBC link if the Yahoo link also updated.

Thanks.

The debt is 121.62% of GDP. How can anyone believe anything this political clown says at this point?

Typical overspending leftist, someone else will have to cleanup their ticking time bomb when it blows up.

I just checked the U.S. Debt Clock and interest on the debt is increasing at a rate of over one million dollars every two minutes, and accelerating.
