For the first time in history, annual interest payments on US national debt will overtake defense spending in 2024, according to the CBO.
It is projected that for the full Fiscal Year 2024 (FY 2024), interest spending will hit $900 BILLION.
In Q1 2024, interest costs hit $1 trillion on an annualized basis and were $29 billion higher than defense outlays.
In the first 7 months of FY 2024, interest was also higher than spending on Medicaid, Medicare, and Defense, at $514 billion.
Meanwhile, in 2023, interest as % of GDP was the highest in 25 years and even exceeded World War II levels.
The US government needs lower interest rates more than ever.
