What will our grandkids have to pay for interest on the national debt? Today we pay over $160 Billion a year. We’re paying it to foreign governments, wealthy foreigners, and the richest of Americans in their diversified portfolios. As we go from under $6 Trillion in debt to $8 Trillion and more, as the empire spreads its wings over all the globe, paying $250-300 Billion a year is not beyond our reach.
