7.) Staggering Interest Payments

President Trump inherited over $20 Trillion in debt from President Obama through FY 2017; Obama added nearly half of that amount to the tab given to him by President Bush.

As interest rates rise, that will only crowd out more vital forms of federal spending as it increases.
