The U.S. national debt refers to the total amount of money the federal government owes to creditors, both domestic and international. As of 2025, it has surpassed $34 trillion, driven by years of budget deficits where spending exceeds revenue. This debt includes money borrowed to fund programs like Social Security, defense, and economic stimulus efforts. High national debt can impact interest rates, inflation, and future government spending. Economists debate whether such levels are sustainable long-term, but many agree that careful fiscal management is essential to maintaining economic stability and ensuring the burden doesn't grow for future generations.
