The US national debt exceeded 34 trillion dollars in 2025, raising increasing economic concerns. This debt is growing due to a chronic budget deficit, where the government spends more than it earns from taxes. The debt includes money borrowed by the government from domestic and foreign investors, in addition to government funds like Social Security. The debt-to-GDP ratio is rising, exceeding 120%, which is an indicator of future financial pressure. Continuing this trend may lead to rising interest rates, a decline in the government's ability to finance public programs, and an increased burden on future generations. Despite the strength of the US economy, debt management poses a significant challenge for policymakers.
