US Debt Growing Fast, Experts Say It's a Problem

US national debt is nearing $38 trillion and will grow more. Experts warn this is not good for the country's future and needs action now.

Behind all the crazy front page news US debt just hit 100% of GDP, and is almost certain to go beyond the 1946 high of 106%.

"There’s no sugar-coating it: America’s fiscal health is increasingly dire," said Jonathan Burks, economic policy director at the centrist Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington. "Our debt is now 100% of GDP, and rather than pumping the brakes, we are accelerating. These large deficits are unprecedented for a growing, peacetime economy."

How Republicans Blew Up the Debt and Put the Dollar—and America—at Risk

GOP tax cuts created deficits, enriched elites, and forced America to borrow from itself. Now the dollar’s global role is collapsing—and the world is adapting.

#Trump at the #WEF - All I see is an elephant destroying #trust with old #allies. Does he really thinks that #Europe won’t be able to defend themselves? It would be the end of #NATO, but also the end of the #americanMight… don’t believe it? Who holds all the #USdebt? Where are most of the #USmilitaryBases? In Europe. Or does he really think that Gaza is going to be the new key location to control the world? Have a look at your base in #Irak or in #Qatar or in #SaudiArabia … all friends there???

The U.S. is facing record-high interest costs on a colossal debt exceeding $30 trillion, now surpassing what it spends on defense—highlighting urgent fiscal concerns. Historically, foreign governments bought U.S. Treasuries as safe, policy-driven assets, peaking at over 40% stake in the early 2010s. But now, their holdings have fallen below 15%, and their purchases haven't kept pace with the ballooning debt. Meanwhile, hedge funds, especially through the Cayman Islands, have doubled their role, often amplifying market turbulence during crises like COVID-19 and recent tariffs. This increased leverage raises fears of market instability and complicates America's fiscal outlook. Will these shifts threaten financial stability?
