The National Debt Issue

America’s national debt is a ticking time bomb, exploding right under our noses. As of September 2025, the gross national debt has ballooned past $37 trillion, a staggering figure that’s not just numbers on a ledger but a crushing burden on every hardworking American. Interest payments alone are gobbling up 17% of federal spending, sucking the life out of our economy like a vampire at a blood bank.

But here’s the good news: President Donald J. Trump, in his triumphant return to the White House, is unleashing a crypto revolution that’s poised to slay this debt dragon. These bold policies aren’t some pie-in-the-sky gamble—they’re a smart, innovative strike at the heart of our fiscal woes, restoring American dominance in the digital age.

Let’s face it: the debt avalanche has been barreling down for decades, picking up speed like a runaway train. Back in 2000, the debt stood at a “mere” $5.7 trillion. By 2025, it’s skyrocketed over 550%, hitting that eye-watering $37 trillion mark.

The acceleration kicked into high gear after 9/11, with wars and tax cuts adding $5 trillion under Bush. Obama’s administration with its healthcare push doubled it to $20 trillion. Then came the COVID chaos: Trump added about $7 trillion in his first term, but that was amid unprecedented growth before the pandemic hit. Biden’s failed presidency piled on another $7 trillion with his bloated infrastructure and relief bills, fueling inflation that still haunts us. Per capita? That’s over $283,000 per household—a debt sentence for our kids and grandkids. It’s like watching a bad horror movie where the monster just keeps growing.
