US debt spirals past $34 trillion with interest forecasted to hit $3 trillion by 2030 Quick Take
The United States’ mounting debt structure currently stands at a staggering $34 trillion, according to usdebtclock.org.
An escalating annualized interest accompanies this steep climb on the federal debt that exceeds $1 trillion and is projected to break through the $3 trillion threshold by Q4 2030, according to E.J. Antoni, an economist at Heritage & Comm4Prosperity.
Further compounding the issue, the United States grapples with a structural deficit. As indicated by analyst Joe Consorti, the federal deficit is worrying at -6.460% of the GDP.

While the deficit witnessed during COVID-19 induced peak at -15%, it has since lowered to -6.4%, offering a glimpse of the government’s financial health.
