📉 #USNationalDebt : A Growing Mountain

The national debt of the United States has surpassed 36 trillion dollars in 2025, a figure that continues to grow at a staggering pace. But what does this number really mean for the American economy and the rest of the world?

Public debt represents the total sum that the federal government owes to creditors, including private investors, foreign governments, and domestic agencies. It is the result of years of spending exceeding revenues, fueled by wars, economic crises, tax cuts, and stimulus programs.

📊 Why is it important?

- Rising interest: The higher the debt, the more the government spends just to pay interest.

- Global influence: The dollar is the world's reserve currency. If confidence declines, the repercussions can be global.

- Future policies: High debt can limit the government's ability to invest in infrastructure, healthcare, and education.

🧠 Fun fact: The debt grows by billions every day. It’s as if every American citizen owes over 100,000 dollars!

The debate is intense: some economists argue that the debt is sustainable as long as the economy grows, while others fear a future crisis.
