#USNationalDebt The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34 trillion, raising concerns about long-term economic stability. This growing debt stems from decades of budget deficits, increased government spending, tax cuts, and emergency relief measures like pandemic stimulus packages. Interest payments on the debt are rising rapidly, consuming a larger share of the federal budget. If left unchecked, the mounting debt could lead to higher taxes, reduced public services, and lower investor confidence. Policymakers face tough decisions on spending and revenue to curb this trend. Sustainable fiscal policy is crucial to protect future generations and maintain global economic leadership.
