America is going to pay a lot of interest soon. But don't fear a debt crisis.

Between tax cuts and new spending, the U.S. government's total debt load is set to balloon from just under 80 percent of the economy right now to just under 100 percent in a decade.

The federal government paid $263 billion in interest in 2017, but that will swell to $915 billion in 2028.
