Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, warns that the soaring U.S. government debt, now at $33.7 trillion, is nearing a critical point. The rapid 45% increase in debt since early 2020 and a $1.7 trillion deficit last year have escalated the financial burden, with $659 billion spent on debt interest in fiscal 2023.
