  “With more than $10 trillion of interest costs over the next decade, this compounding fiscal cycle will only continue to do damage to our kids and grandkids.”

Quote from the article. Also from the article:

The taxpayer's dollar is increasingly being spent on things that don't further any policies whether their desired or no. Simply paying off debt that will mount and mount with no end in sight.
