For the first time in history, the US national debt has surpassed $36 trillion, marking an alarming milestone. This staggering figure represents a nearly $1 trillion increase in just four months, with debt rising by 6% from January to November 2024.

By 2027, projections suggest the debt will exceed 106% of GDP, and by 2034, it could hit 122%. The rapid debt surge is driven by escalating government spending, economic pressures, and the ongoing need for stimulus in tough times.
