I have started to receive these daily emails and appreciate them. Each item in today’s was worth reading.

One suggestion for improvement would be to discuss the percentage of debt service to federal revenues rather than focusing on the percentage of debt or interest to GDP.

The cost of debt service as a percentage of federal revenues is likely to be the stress factor rather than some relationship to GDP.

Thank you for reading and appreciate the feedback! My goal is bite-size content because often the feedback these days is that long-form writing cannot keep our attention anymore. As such, it's hard to present the in-depth analysis that would breakdown our national debt along the multitude of perspectives that one can. But, I will keep that in mind for future discussions on the debt service because your point is 100% valid!
