The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) now projects that by the end of the budget window in 2024, interest payments on the U.S. debt will quadruple, reaching a stratospheric $880 billion a year.
According to Senate Budget Chairman Jeff Sessions (R-AL), that will mean interests payments on the debt will be 105 times larger than the FBI's budget.

With a current federal debt of about $17.5 trillion, the Congressional Budget Office projects that in 2014 taxpayers will foot the bill for $233 billion in interest payments alone. By 2024, the CBO believes that those payments will nearly quadruple to $880 billion.

“Every dollar spent paying our creditors is a dollar wasted — money for which we get nothing in return. Interest payments threaten to crowd out every other budget item,” GOP Senate Budget Committee staff write in a memo released Wednesday.

$880 billion, almost a TRILLION a year in interest payments on a $17 TRILLION PLUS debt.

How stupid is that?

What is wrong with Congress and the president?

Shame, shame, shame...
