🚨 $1 Trillion in Just Interest – 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 ✅
· 2035: Projected $1.8 trillion to $2.2 trillion
The national debt hit $38 trillion** — now equal to 100% of GDP.
It grew **$1 trillion in just two months.
Why this matters:
That’s money that doesn’t 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 —
That’s why mortgages and credit cards stay painfully high.
Warnings from the top:
· Jamie Dimon
· Jerome Powell
· Ray Dalio — who calls this trajectory a potential economic “heart attack.”
We’re in a feedback loop:
More debt → higher interest payments → more borrowing → less fiscal space.
This doesn’t end well unless something changes.
