I fight for Kentucky, individual rights, and the Constitution | This is an official government account for Senator Rand Paul.








🇺🇸 The U.S. national debt just passed $38.9 trillion. That number is so big it is almost meaningless, so here is what it actually looks like in real life. The government is paying $1.8 million every single minute just in interest. Not building roads. Not schools. Not hospitals. Just covering the bill on money already borrowed. Your share as an American citizen is $115,000. Your household's share is $288,000. Think of it like every family in the country being handed a mortgage they never signed for and can never sell. And it is growing fast. The government is adding $7.2 billion every single day. That is like buying a brand new sports stadium every day entirely on borrowed money. The easiest way to picture the whole thing is this. Imagine you max out your credit card and can only afford to pay the interest every month. The balance never goes down. It just keeps getting bigger. That is exactly what Washington is doing right now, except the credit card has no limit and nobody is cutting it up. Interest payments are now the second biggest expense in the entire federal budget. Bigger than Medicare. Bigger than defense. Washington knows. Nobody is doing anything about it. They are just hoping it becomes someone else's problem. Source: @WallStreetMav
