Interest payments in 2024 are on track to be 17% of federal spending, not 76%. Income tax is not the only source of federal revenue, so the posters 76% figure is a misrepresentation. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/government-revenue/ The US federal government revenue for 2024 is already $3.7 trillion as of July 2024. https://fiscaldata.treasury.gov/americas-finance-guide/national-debt

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1815441297123274807
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
