Interest Expense

  

See: Interest Cost. Same idea, with the little subtle tweak here that an expense is more accountant-ish speak, and screams the fact that interest costs are tax-deductible just like any other business expense, more or less.

So, uh, woot to tax deductibility. Neener neener, IRS.
