just to pay the interest on the national debt (US). I heard it in a news clip and wondering if it’s true and correct?
Time for a reset.The debt service (INTEREST) has also exceeded the NATIONAL DEFENSE BUDGET and Medicare costs.......Please STOP NOTICING!

In the first seven months of Fiscal Year (FY) 2024, spending on net interest has reached $514 billion, surpassing spending on both national defense ($498 billion) and Medicare ($465 billion). Overall spending has totaled $3.9 trillion thus far. Spending on interest is also more than all the money spent this year on veterans, education, and transportation combined.
