Interest on the national debt in June 2023 was
$122 billion

Total spending in June was $646 billion.

So about 18% of all spending is now just to pay interest on the debt. 😲

When I left the Republican Party several years ago lots of people asked me why. Expect fewer people will be asking me that question after the last two days.
