Here is the most recent article that I saw on this. Analysis done by Bloomberg. LINK: US Debt costs hit $ 1 Trillion


If the $1 trillion number is correct, that’s almost $3,000 per year for every man, woman and child. Unsustainable.

Directly from the website I will post below.

As of September 2023 it costs $879 billion to maintain the debt, which is 14% of the total federal spending.

FWIW, a $1T CofC on $34T is 2.9%. As debt continues to roll over to more current rates, I'd think 2.9% could turnout to be luxuriant. Every 1% increase adds ~1/3rd of a trillion to the cost-of-carry. That will escalate.

Keeping in mind CofC is above and beyond current deficits. So we're running interest atop interest. But ... Climate Change! DEI! Trans Rights!
