Total U.S. debt has topped $40 trillion for the first time, the Treasury Department said on August 19, drawing fresh warnings that a fiscal crisis is brewing. Debt service costs exceeded Pentagon spending for the first time in fiscal 2025. In the first 10 months of fiscal 2026, interest costs surpassed Medicare spending to become the second-largest federal budget item after Social Security. #usa #economy #debt
