American national debt has reached unprecedented levels, surpassing 34 trillion dollars, raising serious questions about financial sustainability in the world's largest economy. The continuous increase in government spending without a real balance with tax revenues means we are facing a ticking time bomb that could explode in the face of the global economy, not just the American one. Rising interest rates increase the cost of servicing this debt, putting pressure on the federal budget and reducing the government's ability to fund vital programs such as healthcare and education. All of this is happening in the absence of clear plans for austerity or restructuring. The current situation is not a momentary crisis, but a long path of neglect and excessive reliance on printing and borrowing.
