Great points but imagine how much their eyes will pop once the budgets or spending reports come out and congress finds out how much they’re spending on interest payments on their debt.

I’ll do the math for you: 4%/yr of 31T means they’ll be paying 1.24T in interest expenses per year. Of the 4.9T in tax revenue, 1.24T of it or 25% of it is burned on interest payments on the national debt.[1]
