📈 U.S. National Debt Hits New Heights – What’s Next?
The U.S. national debt continues its relentless climb — reaching $36.22 trillion in May 2025, up slightly from April’s $36.21 trillion.
To put that in perspective, back in 1942, the debt stood at just $60 billion.
From war spending to stimulus packages, the debt has surged over decades — now standing at historic highs.
While the monthly increase may seem minor, the bigger question looms: How sustainable is this trajectory?
Each uptick isn’t just a number — it reflects deeper economic choices that shape America’s future.
