#USNationalDebt continues to be a major economic concern, currently exceeding $34 trillion. It reflects the total amount the U.S. government owes to creditors, including both public debt and intragovernmental holdings. Rising debt is driven by increased government spending, interest payments, and slower revenue growth. Key contributors include Social Security, Medicare, defense, and stimulus programs. Economists warn that sustained high debt could lead to higher interest rates, inflation, and reduced economic flexibility. However, others argue that with strong GDP growth and low borrowing costs, the U.S. can manage its debt load. Still, long-term fiscal reforms are essential to ensure economic stability.
