#USNationalDebt En 2025, the public debt of the U.S., which exceeds $36.2 trillion (122% of GDP), generates concern on social media, especially on X. Users like @GabySillerP highlight the fiscal deficit of $316 billion in May, with 13.72% of spending on interest. @Realgeopolitica points out that the sustainability of the debt is crucial, while @QuesaVerdadess quotes Elon Musk warning about a possible economic collapse due to wastefulness. The political polarization complicating the raising of the debt ceiling is criticized, with the risk of default in January 2025. Trump's expansive policies, such as tax cuts and tariffs, are seen as exacerbating the deficit, which could reach $3.5 trillion this year. Although demand for Treasury bonds remains strong, there are fears that confidence in them may diminish if the debt continues to grow, according to @Reuters.
