The US govt is on pace to spend $1.3 trillion this year in just interest payments on the US govt debt.
All taxes collected for the year are just $5.475 trillion.
So about 24% of all taxes collected are going directly to paying interest on the debt.
If you remove social security and Medicare from the math, because those FICA taxes go directly to fund those programs without Congress being involved ... and just look at the rest of the budget ...
36% of all income taxes, tariffs, etc will go directly to interest on the debt before any other program is funded.

@WeWatchedAMovie Kind of glad I’m not the only one that felt like it had Shyamalans vibes to it. Reminded me a lot of the happening. So many things happening at once that don’t tie well in the end.
@ariankagranola@PopBase I was on her side at first, but when she couldn’t just forgive for something that happened in high school, I was like naw girl this ain’t it.
