The U.S. national debt has reached historically high levels, surpassing $34 trillion in 2025, raising concerns about fiscal sustainability and long-term economic stability. Driven by decades of budget deficits, increased spending on entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare, military expenditures, and responses to economic crises such as COVID-19, the debt continues to grow. While low interest rates once made borrowing less costly, the recent rise in rates has significantly increased the government's interest payments, putting pressure on the federal budget. Policymakers face mounting challenges balancing the need for economic stimulus and investment with the necessity of debt reduction to maintain investor confidence and protect future economic health.
