#USNationalDebt

The U.S. national debt has surpassed **\$34 trillion**, raising growing concerns among economists and policymakers. This massive debt, driven by years of budget deficits, pandemic-related spending, and rising interest costs, poses long-term risks to economic stability. As interest payments consume a larger share of federal revenue, pressure mounts to reform fiscal policy. Debates intensify over defense, social programs, and tax reforms. While the U.S. dollar remains dominant globally, sustained high debt could impact credit ratings and investor confidence. Experts warn that without meaningful action, future generations may face reduced fiscal flexibility and economic uncertainty. Calls for bipartisan solutions are increasing.
