That's the way I read it too, remember, that's only the interest on the debt. When you look at total debt we're over 100% of GDP. Note in 2008 it was 76% of GDP, now we're at 104%.
Remind me again what happened in 2008? The things that jumped out at me are the SS and Healthcare increases, non-existent before the 1950s. Remind me again what happened then?
