US National Debt Reaches New All-Time High
The national debt of the United States (US) has reached a new all-time high for the first time since February 2025. The total government debt now exceeds $36.5 trillion, showing a significant upward trend in recent years.
This increase is driven by various factors, including continuously rising government spending and swelling interest on debt due to rising interest rates. Annual interest burdens now reach hundreds of billions of dollars, surpassing essential expenditures such as Medicare and defense.
This situation poses a serious fiscal challenge for the US, which needs to find solutions to prevent the debt burden from unsustainably impacting the economy. Proper budget management and fiscal policies are key to maintaining economic stability moving forward.
