"The overspending has to stop or America will go bankrupt," Musk insisted on Twitter. His comments came in response to a tweet in which a large chunk of tax money was earmarked to pay off the national debt. According to a media report, "63% of all personal income taxes in February were spent on paying interest on debt – no roads, no military, no schools, no social security – just paying down the debt."

  • Real estate has beaten the stock market for 25 years – but only the super rich can afford it. Here's how an ordinary investor can become a Walmart, Whole Foods or Kroger or real estate owner.
  • Car insurance premiums in America are through the roof – and only getting worse. But for 5 minutes you can pay as little as $29 a month
  • Marcus's post included a headline that read, “Interest payments on the US national debt are eating up a whopping $1,140,000,000,000 this year – 76%.

America is going bankrupt!

The United States' fiscal position continues to deteriorate as the federal government's deficit soared to $1.27 trillion in the fiscal year ending in June, hampered by rising interest payments on the mounting national debt, which is fast approaching $35 trillion.

$76 billion had to be spent in February

Another user retweeted, "This is an amazing statistic to monitor in the coming years." He further said, “For February, the US government collected $120 billion from personal income taxes. They had to spend $76 billion in February to pay interest on the national debt. We are not far from the day when taxes will be required to pay the debt but 100% of personal income interest.”

In response to Trump's tweet, one person questioned his earlier stance, saying, "Where was this debate when Trump was implementing $2 trillion in tax cuts and overseeing record-breaking spending during his presidency?"

Another commentator expressed concern, saying, “U.S. might have reached bankruptcy; It is only a matter of time before the global community takes notice.”
