#USNationalDebt

The national debt of the United States surpassed $34 trillion in 2025, raising increasing economic concerns. This debt is growing due to a chronic budget deficit, where the government spends more than it earns from taxes. The debt includes money borrowed by the government from domestic and foreign investors, as well as government funds like Social Security. The debt-to-GDP ratio is rising, exceeding 120%, which is an indicator of future financial pressure. The continuation of this trend could lead to higher interest rates, a decline in the government's ability to fund public programs, and an increased burden on future generations. Despite the strength of the American economy, managing the debt presents a significant challenge for policymakers.
