The national debt of the United States has reached *$36.2 trillion*, a figure that represents approximately 124% of the country's GDP. The most alarming thing is that *$9.2 trillion* of that debt will mature this year, which accounts for 25.4% of the total. 70% of those maturities will occur in the first half of the year, which has generated strong pressure on the bond markets and raised Treasury yields. Moreover, interest payments already exceed one trillion dollars annually, limiting the government's ability to invest in other key areas. How long can this pace of borrowing be sustained?
