(Interest figures can fluctuate widely from month to month. They are currently very low for the size of the debt, because recent, massive, short-term federal borrowing has been at near zero interest. Every month, we replace old high interest debt with new low interest debt. This will change dramatically when the eocnomic recovery begins. People and institutions that have parked money in US Treasury instruments will begin to move it into higher yield investments, and government borrowing costs will increase rapidly.)
