The US national debt passed another grim milestone Thursday when the latest data showed that government debt held by the public — the most conservative way to measure what is owed — has surpassed America’s total annual economic output.
As of Tuesday, government debt held by the public is about $31.27 trillion, according to the US Treasury. Meanwhile, the US nominal gross domestic product (GDP) from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026, was an estimated $31.22 trillion, according to new Commerce Department data released Thursday.
Already in this fiscal year, which began last October, the US has spent $1.17 trillion more than it has collected, according to the federal government, with the annual deficit projected to grow to nearly $2 trillion in the coming months. |

Or do you mean it should just go to people who need it? That works for me |
