The U.S. national debt has crossed the $37 trillion mark, marking a record high and raising concerns about the nation’s long-term fiscal health. This milestone was reached in recent reports from the U.S. Treasury and Congressional committees, with daily increases contributing to this ever-growing figure. Key stakeholders are sounding the alarm, expressing worry over the unsustainable nature of current deficit spending and urging Congress for swift action to address this critical issue. Experts cite rising government spending as a key driver behind this alarming trend. 2025 saw a significant increase of $2.17 trillion in federal debt, leaving an overwhelming portion ($30.28 trillion) held by the public, representing nearly 115% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This high level of debt signifies a disconnect between borrowing and economic growth.
