#USNationalDebt

Today, the U.S. debt exceeds 36 trillion dollars and continues to grow. This is equivalent to almost 122% of GDP, and each citizen 'owes' about 106,000 USD. Each year, the interest we pay on this debt is already around a trillion dollars, which means less money for health, education, or infrastructure.

The problem is not only the size but also the trend: the debt continues to rise due to military spending, health, tax cuts, past crises (pandemic), and insufficient revenue. According to experts, if it is not regulated, we could face a 'debt crisis' in the coming years... and the Federal Reserve is already feeling it.

Solutions are being proposed: increasing taxes, controlling spending, and reforming programs like Medicare. But Congress is approving more packages that total 2–4 trillion in the next decade. The political struggle is underway.
