📊 The U.S. budget shortfall has ballooned to a massive $1.8 trillion in FY2025, per the latest CBO estimates — that’s roughly 6.0% of GDP, ranking it among the biggest deficits outside of World War II, the 2008 financial meltdown, and the 2020 pandemic.
💥 This marks the 4th-largest deficit ever recorded, behind only the pandemic-era spikes of $3.1T (2020) and $2.8T (2021).
💰 Adding fuel to the fire — interest payments just jumped by $80B, surpassing the $1 trillion mark for the first time in U.S. history.
⚠️ Analysts warn this could amplify long-term fiscal pressure and ripple across global markets as debt levels climb to record highs.
🌎 The question now: Can the U.S. sustain this pace without triggering broader economic fallout?
