🧾 Short Report: The U.S. National Debt Crisis

As of mid-2025, the U.S. national debt has exceeded $34 trillion, a historic high that continues to spark concerns across economic and political spheres.

🔹 Debt-to-GDP Ratio: Over 120%, indicating the U.S. owes more than it produces annually.

🔹 Interest Payments: Now one of the largest line items in the federal budget, surpassing defense spending.

🔹 Drivers: Rising interest rates, stimulus spending, tax cuts, and mandatory entitlement programs like Social Security and Medicare.

🔹 Risks: Inflationary pressure, weakened dollar confidence, potential credit downgrades, and reduced room for future crisis responses.

📉 What It Means: Without serious fiscal reform, the burden of debt may shift to taxpayers, investors, and younger generations, threatening long-term U.S. financial stability.
