True US interest expense (debt service+entitlement pay goes) are 92% of tax receipts YTD but more importantly were 120% for July, i.e., the trend is no friend to govt solvency.
I believe that is way off given the US debt level, estimates are USA debt is $258k debt per person now, no way interest payments are only 92% of tax receipts. Look at a US debt chart, shite has gone ballistic starting in 2008. Something has to change instead of continuously kicking the can up the road. Billionaires must love the current Fed policies.

What are you including in "entitlement pay"? Is that welfare programs (SNAP, Section 8, etc) or are you putting Medicare/caid and SS in that box as well?
