The US national debt has reached $34.7 trillion, with interest costs surpassing defense and Medicare spending. The debt burden per citizen is nearly $1 million. Major contributors include Medicare, Social Security, education, and military spending. Borrowing money at interest worsens the problem. Solutions include issuing trillion-dollar coins, buying back debt, or issuing money interest-free. The debt is held by various entities, with foreign holders accounting for $8 trillion. The Biden administration's spending growth is unsustainable. Raising taxes on the rich won't solve the problem. Limiting spending and growing the economy are crucial. #NationalDebt #USDebt #EconomicBurden...
