USNationalDebt #USNationalDebt refers to the total national debt of the United States of America, which is the amount the U.S. federal government owes its creditors, both domestically (American institutions and individuals) and externally (foreign countries and institutions). The national debt is divided into two main parts:
Public Debt: bonds and securities held by parties outside the U.S. government, including domestic and foreign investors.
Intragovernmental Debt: the money borrowed by the government from internal dedicated accounts such as retirement and insurance funds.
Key Information:
The U.S. national debt reached over 34 trillion U.S. dollars by mid-2025.
The growth rate of the debt continues due to budget deficits, meaning that government spending exceeds revenues.
Factors influencing the debt include tax cuts, spending on healthcare and defense, financial crises, and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why is national debt important?
It increases the interest costs paid by the government.
It may negatively affect the U.S. economy by raising interest rates and reducing private sector investments.
It leads to ongoing discussions regarding fiscal policies, tax reforms, and government spending.
