U.S. national debt climbing to a record $39 trillion

 The U. S. national debt is nearing a record $39 trillion, with current figures close to $38.5 trillion based on data from the U. S. Treasury Department. As of the end of 2025, the federal debt stood at $37.64 trillion, increasing by $2.17 trillion from 2024.

• The debt is rising at an alarming rate of about $71,800 each second.

• Congress is currently working on a new spending bill to prevent a government shutdown since current appropriations will expire at the end of the month.

• The information is disseminated by the U. S. Joint Economic Committee Republicans, highlighting the rapid growth of the national debt.

The increasing national debt remains a critical issue for the U. S. government, necessitating immediate legislative action to manage financial obligations and prevent further fiscal crises.
