flag U.S. debt hit $37.5 trillion in 2025, up $2 trillion in a year, driven by persistent deficits and uncontrolled spending despite strong economic conditions.

flag The U.S. federal debt has reached $37.5 trillion, increasing by $2 trillion in a single year despite strong economic conditions, low unemployment, and peacetime. flag The government has already spent more than it collected, with Deficit Day occurring on September 21, meaning all spending since has been financed by borrowing. flag The budget now includes 2,623 subsidy and benefit programs, more than double the number in 1970, with both major parties failing to address unsustainable spending and entitlement growth. flag The shutdown, triggered by the rejection of a clean continuing resolution, is seen as a distraction from the deeper fiscal crisis, as neither party has shown the political will to enact meaningful reform.
