The national debt of the United States has surprisingly soared to a historic high of 37 trillion dollars, a number that seems to shake the very earth!\nWhat's even scarier is that 25% of the U.S. tax revenue goes towards paying interest on the debt. It's like a person who spends a quarter of their earnings just to pay interest; how can they live well? The government is no different; all the money goes towards repaying debt, leaving nothing for public services and social welfare.
