America’s $38 Trillion Debt Crisis - How Long Before It Breaks The Economy?

Nov. 2, 2025

U.S. DOLLAR COLLAPSE - FOLLOW THE MONEY

World Affairs In Context

The U.S. national debt has officially surpassed $38 trillion... a staggering new record that’s raising alarms across the political and economic landscape. That’s roughly $111,000 for every American, according to the Peter G. Peterson Foundation. Even more concerning? The debt jumped $1 trillion in just 82 days, a pace that economists say is unsustainable.

In this video, we break down what the national debt really means, how it reached this historic level, and why it matters for your job, wages, loans, and everyday living costs. From rising interest rates and growing deficits to structural issues in government spending, this video explores the hidden costs of America’s debt explosion, and what could happen if it keeps growing unchecked.

We’ll also look at:

* Why the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio matters more than the raw number.
* How interest payments are now rivaling defense and Medicare spending.
* The role of Social Security, Medicare, defense, and political dysfunction in driving debt higher.
* The economic dangers of higher interest rates, slower growth, and inflation.
* What the Congressional Budget Office and Government Accountability Office are warning about America’s fiscal future.

If you’ve ever wondered how government debt translates into higher mortgage rates, car payments, and grocery bills, this video is for you.
