US debt has crossed the $40 trillion mark; the average debt of each American is $116,000! For the first time in history, the US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion; an amount equivalent to about $116,700 for each American. The federal government has added about $2.5 trillion to its debt since the beginning of fiscal year 2026 alone. But the main concern is the cost of this debt; the US has paid about $963 billion in interest on the debt in the first 10 months of the fiscal year; that is, more than $3 billion per day. The US is now facing a heavy debt whose financing costs are also increasing rapidly. Get the latest news: Site | Ita | Yes | Rubika | Soroush Plus @snntv

The US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion for the first time in history. The figure reached a new historical high amid a persistent federal budget deficit. According to analysts, this amount is approximately equal to the combined value of the economies of China, Germany, Japan, the UK, and India combined. Record debt is already hitting the wallets of ordinary Americans. The main reasons and consequences: About a third of the new debt was accounted for by large-scale borrowing during the pandemic. The cost of mortgages, car loans, and ordinary goods is rising. Budget spending on healthcare is increasing due to the aging population. The administrations of both presidents actively increased borrowing. During Joe Biden's presidency, the debt grew by $8.4 trillion, and under Donald Trump (over both terms) by $11.6 trillion.
