Over the next decade, interest payments on the debt are projected to be the fastest growing part of the federal budget.
Last year, the federal government spent $241 billion – roughly 1.3 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) – on interest payments. That’s among the lowest at any point since the 1970s, driven by historically low interest rates.
Yet recent market activity and Federal Reserve actions already suggest interest rates will rise; yields on the 3-month Treasury bill doubled in the past 5 months, while yields on the 10-year Treasury note rose 50 percent.
when interest rate is up, it will be much more than 241 Billion |
