#USNationalDebt The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34 trillion, raising concerns about long-term economic sustainability. This debt includes money borrowed by the federal government to finance deficits, fund public programs, and pay interest on existing debt. High debt levels can lead to rising interest payments, crowding out investment in critical sectors like infrastructure and education. While borrowing can support economic growth during downturns, persistent deficits may weaken the dollar and hurt global confidence. Policymakers face pressure to balance fiscal responsibility with economic support, especially amid global uncertainties. Addressing the debt will likely require a mix of spending reforms and revenue increases. As the debt grows, so does the urgency to develop a strategic, bipartisan plan for America’s financial future.
