#USNationalDebt The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34.7 trillion in 2025, marking a historic high and raising serious concerns about long-term fiscal sustainability. Driven by rising interest costs, expansive federal programs, and tax cuts without matching revenue increases, the debt continues to grow rapidly. The interest payments alone are projected to exceed defense spending, straining the federal budget. While some argue that U.S. debt is manageable due to its global reserve currency status, others warn that unchecked borrowing risks inflation, reduced investor confidence, and burdening future generations. A balanced approach of spending restraint and revenue reform is becoming increasingly urgent.
