#USNationalDebt

The U.S. national debt has reached a staggering "$36.21 trillion" as of June 2025, growing at "$4.27 billion per day"—or "$49,431 per second". Debt held by the public stands at "$28.95 trillion", while intragovernmental debt totals "$7.26 trillion".

"Key concerns:"

- "Debt-to-GDP ratio" at "124%", nearing post-WWII highs.

- "Interest costs" are soaring, with net interest projected at "13.85% of outlays in 2026".

- "Foreign holdings" account for "25%", led by Japan ($1.13T) and China ($765B).

With the debt ceiling reinstated at "$36.1T" in 2025, Treasury’s "extraordinary measures" may exhaust by "August/September", risking payment delays or default. Fiscal sustainability remains a critical challenge.
