Future interest payments will skyrocket

This shows expected interest payments as a moving average divergence around current interest payments which acts as a moving average that is delayed by one to two years. Anyways, the current "future" interest payments as calculated by the US05Y yield have never had a larger divergence from current payments. It is expected that in one to two years, US interest payments on the national debt will be more than 30% of tax receipts (see FRED:A091RC1Q027SBEA/FRED:W006RC1Q027SBEA)
