Sehen Sie sich die Vergleiche der US-Nettozinszahlungen auf die Staatsverschuldung mit den nationalen Verteidigungsausgaben von 1962 bis 2025 anhand historischer Haushaltsdaten des OMB an.
Die Zinskosten stiegen während des Hochzinsumfelds der 1980er Jahre sprunghaft an, sanken während der Niedrigzinsphase nach 2008 und stiegen nach den jüngsten Zinserhöhungen und dem schnellen Wachstum der Bundesverschuldung wieder stark an.

Someone needs to explain to me how the US economy isnt going to explode within the next 5-10 years.
well, blame biden, their admin made and filled 4393939238289289 federal jobs.. they used federal jobs as some kind of jobs creation magic wand. our gov literally never been so bloated as it was under that admin. its getting better now but still work to do
Not too beautiful… It’s just a simple line chart with a poorly placed callout.
Govt : This must not continue we will significantly hike Defense Spending.
Debt Interest : Catching up..
Govt : This must not continue..
And so on
If the US had pinned military spending to 1999 levels, only growing it by CPI inflation each year, it would have saved $8.8 trillion over that time; that would cut the debt by 23% (not accounting for interest savings) and leave the US with military spending still 1.76x larger than the next largest military spender (China).
There had been talk about how the recent increase in NATO member spending as a percent of GDP was important so that the US would no longer have to subsidize the defense of other nations; nevertheless we have also seen and will no doubt continue to see the US military budget continue to grow at a rate that outpaces inflation, which is impressive given how high we have seen inflation get in recent years. One might hope that the US could at least achieve its military objectives with all of this excess spending, yet here we are with skyrocketing gas and fertilizer prices and US service members are eating reduced food rations while deployed in a war zone.
include social security and Medicare/medicaid
You understand that people are cheap? And most of the military budget is buying and sustaining things.
