For May of 2026, the US govt collected $163 billion in personal and corporate income taxes. The govt spent $132 billion in interest on the debt. 81% of all income taxes went to interest on the $39 trillion in debt. For the full year: $1.3 trillion interest $3 trillion in personal and corporate income taxes. So even with the government estimates they admit to (not counting off budget games) they are spending over 43% of all income taxes just on interest for the national debt. Most of the things government actually pays for are being financed with new borrowed debt financing, over $2 trillion per year.(Wall Street Mav)
