The #USNationalDebt represents the total amount of money the U.S. federal government owes to creditors 💵. It grows when government spending exceeds its revenue, often funded through borrowing by issuing Treasury bonds 📉. The debt is split into public debt (held by investors) and intragovernmental holdings (owed to government programs like Social Security) 📊. Rising debt can lead to higher interest payments, crowding out other investments 🏦. While some argue it stimulates growth during crises, long-term surges may raise inflation concerns 📈. As of now, it's a hot topic in economic and political debates 🗳️, influencing everything from taxes to global trust 🌍.
