But how does a trillion in interest payments a year play into this?

We did not have this big of an interest payment 10 years ago.

Fed collects interest and give it free back to US government. At this point, Fed is hoarding a lot of US debts to maintain liquidity and keeping interest from spiking up. Joe prints $, Fed buys up the debts without question.
