Half your income just to pay interest

 I saw this Zerohedge article and want to briefly comment on it.  https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2026-02-25/half-your-income-just-pay-interest-64-trillion-granddaddy-all-fiascos-warns-peter

In a February 2026 bombshell, Peter Grandich dropped the fiscal hammer: U.S. debt racing toward $64 TRILLION, with interest payments metastasizing into the trillions per year. Translation? Washington’s tab could siphon off HALF your income just to feed the bond market beast.

I have not watched the video or seen his source but assume it is true, that when the national debt hits $64 trillion, that half of all tax payments will go towards interest.  

So when will this occur?  By 2036, in 10 years from now, according to the CBO.
