#USNationalDebt

As of 2025, the U.S. national debt has surpassed $34 trillion, raising growing concerns among economists and citizens alike. This debt is the result of decades of budget deficits, where government spending has exceeded revenue. Key drivers include military expenses, healthcare, Social Security, and emergency relief during the COVID-19 pandemic. The rising interest payments alone are becoming a major burden, especially as interest rates remain high. Critics argue this debt level could weaken the dollar, reduce government flexibility, and burden future generations. Others believe strategic debt is manageable if the economy continues to grow. Still, many call for urgent reforms to balance spending and improve long-term fiscal stability.
