#USNationalDebt
The U.S. national debt is the total amount the federal government owes to creditors.
It includes both public debt (held by individuals, institutions, and foreign governments) and intragovernmental debt.
As of 2025, it exceeds $34 trillion, continuing to grow due to budget deficits.
High debt raises concerns over interest payments, economic stability, and future fiscal policy.
It is influenced by factors like government spending, tax revenue, and economic conditions.
