The national debt of the United States has reached nearly $37.6 trillion, exceeding 123% of the gross domestic product. This is not just a number on paper, but a real crisis that is worsening over time.

In this current year alone, the U.S. government will spend more than a trillion dollars just on servicing interest, a figure that surpasses the budget of the U.S. Department of Defense. This reflects a deep imbalance in spending priorities.

New legislation, primarily the recently enacted tax and immigration reform package, will add between $2.6 to $3.3 trillion to the debt over the next ten years. These figures include the accrued interest, indicating accelerating inflation that seems to have no one to stop it.

In contrast, credit rating agencies have begun to downgrade the United States, which may increase borrowing costs and weaken global confidence in the U.S. economy.

Experts warn of an imminent financial crisis if this trajectory is not controlled, with some describing the situation as an impending "economic heart attack."

What is needed today is not just monitoring the numbers, but holding policies accountable. Because continuing down this path means a future drowning in debt, and losing control over the U.S. economy itself.
