The US national debt has reached $34 trillion, increasing at an annualized pace of $3.5 trillion. The debt has already affected the country's credit rating and poses a significant risk, as it is rapidly approaching a point of no return. Additionally, this debt spiral is compounded by the unfunded benefits promised by the government, totaling over $100 trillion.
