62 cents out of every dollar you pay in income taxes goes to pay interest on money the government already borrowed and spent. The national debt is up $1 trillion in the last 105 days. It’s up $13 trillion since 2020. It’s on pace to be $40 trillion by the end of 2026. "Compared to all the other ugly currencies out there, the dollar is less ugly. But with $36 trillion in debt, with interest expense eating up income taxes, and the aliens on our doorstep (Drones in New Jersey?), it wouldn’t surprise me to see a weaker dollar in 2025."
