The American Debt: A Story of Endless Trillions 🤔

The American debt has surpassed 34 trillion dollars! 💰 This figure is shaped because government spending (on defense and healthcare) exceeds its tax revenues, accumulating the deficit year after year. 📈

Who owns this debt? Not only American citizens and investors, but also foreign governments like Japan and China, tying the entire global economy together. 🌏

To increase complexity, Congress sets a "debt ceiling," and reaching it sparks intense political debates. 🏛️ This situation affects everyone, as it can raise borrowing costs for citizens and businesses.

The solution remains a topic of ongoing debate: should spending be cut or taxes increased? ⚖️
