📉 U.S. National Debt: A Growing Storm? 🇺🇸

The U.S. national debt has crossed $34 trillion, and it's rising fast. That’s over $100,000 per citizen.

🔹 Why it matters: • More debt = more interest payments (over $1 trillion/year now!)

• Less room for essential spending

• Future generations may bear the burden

🧾 Where does it come from? • Military & defense

• Healthcare & Social Security

• Interest on existing debt

• Emergency spending (like COVID relief)

🔍 What’s next? Economists warn of long-term risks if spending isn’t reined in or revenue isn’t increased. But cutting debt without hurting growth? That’s the big challenge.
