US national debt reaches record USD 37 trillion
Washington, Aug 14 (AP): US national debt reached record USD 37 trillion.
The national debt eclipsed this new milestone years sooner than pre-pandemic projections.
The Congressional Budget Office's January 2020 projections predicted the US reaching the milestone after fiscal year 2030.
But the debt grew faster than expected as the COVID-19 pandemic shut down much of the US economy and the Trump and Biden administrations borrowed heavily to stabilise the national economy.
