Yes there is a record amount of Interest being paid. This year and in future years there will be continued record amounts paid.

So what?

This has nothing to do with the fact that the trend of what percentage we are paying on interest out of our total budget remains basically flat.

Big numbers scary hypothesis #13,427 out the window.

* The blue line is your friend.

The so what in essence is that the money we spend on debt service is money we can't spend on productive uses.

The wife wants a new car. Her 2006 CR-V is pristine, but she's ready to move on from a manual and wants some of the newer bells and whistles. I could buy her one (she doesn't know that, and I'm for sure not letting her know - she spends her money and I save pretty well), but I'm not about to pay prices that I've been seeing. Not about to help out an overinflated economy.

Yes, you have to be nuts to buy a new car or even a late model used car. It's hard to know when to buy one these days

Politically, Perot ran almost exclusively on a fix the deficit platform in 1992. Clinton then proceeded to actually balance the budget.

What? Did you mean this as a reply to another question?

Is there a point where the blue line becomes problematic?

Georgia, back-to-back national champions, again will Not make trip to White House

The Georgia Bulldogs again will not attend the White House to celebrate a national championship.

The school did not attend last year after winning its first of back-to-back titles. The team defeated TCU, 65-7, this past January to win its second straight.

"Unfortunately, the date suggested is not feasible given the student-athlete calendar and time of year," an athletic department spokesman told Dawg Nation. "However, we are appreciative of the invitation and look forward to other opportunities for Georgia teams moving forward."

i had to buy the misses a new car in 2021. It was hard to find and even harder to write the check for. Cost about 20% more than it should have. When I finished driving it there were two more families looking at it. I had to buy it on thr spot.

Unimaginable election tampering

CIA Solicited Signatures For Hunter Biden Laptop Letter

multiple former U.S. intelligence officials testified under oath about the CIA’s involvement in the distribution of the letter, which was eventually signed by more than 50 former senior U.S. intelligence officials.

The way I look at it..if Trump is so hated by DC..he is the man for the job.

Sure wish we could find a rational and worthwhile human being would actually do what Trump claimed should be done. I like the non-diplomatic attitude ... it just needs to be at the adult level, and the speech and conduct well beyond a 7th grade Walter Mitty/class clown. A mix of Trump aggressiveness and willingness to get into the mud with dems coupled with Reagan style would be a good start - or basically everything GOP politicians/wimps aren't.

Had a car loan once but paid it off way early. Paid cash for the houses.
So the money I saved by not servicing debt was used for having a better life.
Same principle.

Well you're definitely in the minority.

Deficit spending is generally held to provide more net benefits than negative consequences. Our country was built on it, so it seems to be working out ok.
