FYI - We've doubled the debt in the past 8 years but the debt service has remained level (this ignores the off balance sheet debt (SS, Medicare, etc.) on Federal and State levels.

Interest on U.S. National Debt:

2016: $446.0 Billion Interest – Debt level estimate of $ 19.6 Trillion


Note: we are estimating the last two months of the U.S. Government’s fiscal year ending on September 30th (as of July 31st - current debt level of S19.427 Trillion and current actual interest of $380.9 Billion)



2008: $451.2B Interest – Debt level was $10.024 Trillion.
