The US national debt has reached record levels exceeding 37 trillion dollars, amid rising concerns about its implications for the financial and economic stability of the United States and the world. This alarming increase is due to a combination of structural factors, primarily an aging population and rising healthcare costs, which put enormous pressure on long-term government spending programs such as health insurance and retirement. At the same time, servicing the public debt through interest payments is the fastest growing item in the budget, with expectations that it will drain more than 13 trillion dollars over the next decade, which could undermine the government's ability to fund its future priorities. This is accompanied by serious warnings from prominent economists, who believe that the US financial system is approaching a critical point that may witness a crisis of confidence in the dollar and Treasury bonds, especially in light of the declining international appetite to hold these bonds, as recently seen with some central banks. Additionally, the continued issuance of bonds with high yields to cover the deficit deepens the risks and threatens the stability of the entire debt market. Despite the government's efforts to contain the situation through regulatory measures and tax reforms, the solutions appear limited without a clear political will to curb spending and restore balance to the budget.
