These are the actual numbers on interest payments we the people pay on the debt created by the miserable failures in Washington DC. Just last month, $34 billion…we repeat, $34 BILLION was sent into the s—thole. Imagine how many impoverished children could be helped with $34 billion. Imagine how many roads could be fixed. Remember, these are monthly numbers, not yearly. People should be put in jail for putting us in this position. Both parties are guilty!
