#USNationalDebt The #USNationalDebt has surged past $34 trillion, raising alarms about long-term fiscal sustainability. Interest payments alone are nearing $1 trillion annually, outpacing key budget areas like defense and education. As borrowing continues to finance spending, especially during election cycles, the burden is shifting to future generations. Rising debt affects inflation, interest rates, and the U.S. dollar's dominance. Investors are becoming cautious, and the U.S. credit rating has been downgraded. Crypto advocates argue this instability strengthens the case for decentralized assets like Bitcoin, which operate independently of government debt and inflationary pressures.
