#USNationalDebt The U.S. national debt exceeds $34 trillion as of 2025, reflecting decades of budget deficits and growing government spending. It represents the total amount the federal government owes to creditors, including individuals, corporations, and foreign governments. Key drivers include military spending, healthcare, Social Security, and economic stimulus programs. Rising interest rates increase the cost of servicing this debt, creating long-term fiscal challenges. While manageable for now due to the dollar’s global reserve status, unsustainable debt growth may lead to inflation, reduced investment, and higher taxes. Policymakers face growing pressure to balance economic growth with fiscal responsibility. #USNationalDebt
