Original Note:
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
