Скачать или смотреть The $38.5 Trillion Milestone: US Debt Hits 100% of GDP

In late January 2026, the United States officially crossed a historic and precarious line, reaching a national debt of $38.5 trillion—100% of the country's GDP. This is no longer just a distant projection from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO); it is a verified financial reality that threatens to trigger soaring inflation and deeper cuts to essential programs. With annual interest payments nearing $1 trillion, the cost of servicing this past spending is exiting the economy at an alarming rate, creating a vicious cycle that competes for the same capital needed for your mortgages and loans.

We examine the concrete evidence driving this fiscal shift, from the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBBA) text to the latest reports from the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget (CRFB). We look directly at the Fortune headline from January 22, 2026, and analyze the vertical climb on the debt-to-GDP chart that visualizes the aftermath of pandemic stimulus and structural deficits. This analysis breaks down the $108,000 burden effectively placed on every American citizen and explains why rating agencies like Fitch or Moody's might adjust the U.S. credit outlook in response to this new threshold.

This video report covers the complete timeline of how the debt accumulated so quickly, hitting the triple-digit mark years ahead of the 2030 forecast. Beyond the staggering headline numbers, we investigate the silent killers—structural imbalances in Social Security and Medicare—and the practical moves you need to make to protect your savings. We track the daily updates on policy decisions to help you stay ahead of market volatility that could impact your retirement.
