#USNationalDebt

The national debt of the United States has surpassed 36 trillion dollars in 2025, a figure that represents approximately 122% of the Gross Domestic Product. This accelerated growth concerns economists and international organizations, as interest payments have become one of the largest expenses of the federal government, second only to Social Security. Furthermore, Congress faces new tensions over the debt ceiling, which could create financial uncertainty if an agreement is not reached. Experts warn that if the deficit and public spending are not controlled, confidence in the U.S. economy could be seriously affected in the future.
