With #ScottBessent in charge, expect more interest payment on #USA's #nationalDebt as once all those #tariff's pains kick in, the sky is going to be the limit for interest payments!
Rand Paul says the debt is America’s biggest national security threat. He also voted for Trump’s tax cuts.
Turns out “fiscal responsibility” has fine print.

Trump administration claims that economic growth can offset the $40 trillion federal debt are contradicted by a GAO report projecting debt will grow twice as fast as the economy.

#MN01 #RepFinstad, a multi-millionaire shareholder in #FinstadFarms ( did he pay for his shares or was it a gift?), has sponsored #HR1301 which would allow heirs to owe NO federal estate tax on estates and provides a permanent $10 million lifetime gift exemption.
FYI the #NationalDebt is over $40T

NEW HAMPSHIRE DEBATE on why the issue of the national debt has increased:
Karishma Manzur says, "We are not taxing the rich enough. We are not taxing mega corporations enough. And we are also spending TRILLIONS of dollars on endless wars."
IF WE SPENT ONE BILLION DOLLARS A DAY paying off the #NationalDebt, it would take 𝟏𝟎𝟗.𝟓 𝐘𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐒 to pay it off (assuming it didn't grow by a single dollar between now & then.)
👉 52.8 years just to pay off what #DisasterDon has added ALONE in just 5.5 years. 😱
Thanks to #Republicans (and particularly #DisasterDon), we waste ONE TRILLION DOLLARS A YEAR on interest alone on the #NationalDebt.
REMEMBER THAT when they tell you "we can't afford" #Medicare4All, raising wages, or to rebuild our #Infrastructure (but CAN afford a #Ballroom or gilded WH.) 🤬
