Based on recent projections, interest payments are expected to reach ~14.5% of the federal budget by 2028 and could exceed 20% by the early 2030s — but reaching 100% is a doomsday scenario that forces a choice years before that happens. When interest crowds out all other spending (defense, Social Security, etc.), Congress either raises taxes dramatically, cuts spending, defaults, or prints money/inflates away the debt. The math alone forces political action long before that threshold.
