As of June 2025, the U.S. national debt exceeds $36.2 trillion, or about 123% of GDP. This debt includes money borrowed from the public and funds owed within government accounts. Over the past two decades, debt has surged due to tax cuts, wars, the 2008 crisis, COVID-19 relief, and rising healthcare costs. The U.S. now spends over $1 trillion annually on interest alone, surpassing defense spending. Moody’s recently downgraded the U.S. credit rating, citing unsustainable deficits. Without policy changes, debt could reach 200% of GDP by 2053. Experts urge a mix of spending cuts, tax reforms, and entitlement adjustments. While strong economic growth can help, long-term stability depends on decisive political action to address this mounting fiscal challenge. The debt clock continues to rise in real time.
