๐จ U.S. Debt Interest Costs Hit Record High ๐บ๐ธ $FOGO
The numbers are getting hard to ignore. In FY2025, the U.S. spent a record $1.22 TRILLION just on interest payments.
๐ธ Net interest alone: ~$970B
๐ Thatโs $3.3B per day to service existing debt.
๐ Why this matters:
โข Interest now consumes ~19% of total government revenue
โข Itโs the 3rd largest expense, after Social Security & Medicare
โข Bigger than defense spending (~$917B)
โข Exceeds Medicaid, veteransโ benefits, and more
๐ The trend is accelerating:
Since 2020, interest costs have more than tripled
($345B โ $1T+ today)
As debt grows and borrowing costs stay elevated, pressure on U.S. finances is building fast. Debt servicing is no longer a side issue โ itโs becoming a core economic challenge shaping future policy and markets.
What comes next could define the financial landscape for years ahead. ๐
