I was looking through the US Treasury data on the interest on our national debt today (I know, my life is very interesting) and I thought this was pretty interesting:
From FY2001 through December 2010, it has cost the United States just under $4,000,000,000,000 to pay just the interest on our debt.
Four trillion dollars is a ton of money...and yet we have no plan in place to rein in any of this debt and really lower how much we are paying out in interest...pretty sad.
