The Fiscal Cliff Of Interest Compounding
We examine how the federal government’s interest payments are now consuming nearly a fifth of all tax revenue, creating a self-reinforcing cycle that limits fiscal flexibility. With the ten-year Treasury yield holding near five percent and total debt exceeding thirty-nine trillion dollars, we look at why this compounding cost is becoming the primary driver of future budget constraints rather than discretionary spending cuts.
