historically. I would bet that our US Govt public debt service costs as a percentage of GDP in 2011 were much lower than a lot of the last 40-50 years.

This is a meaningless metric. The gov't could make the service costs basically zero if it wanted without even defaulting.

So service costs got to 4% of GDP around 1990. We aren't even at 2.5% right now.
