U.S. Debt Hits $40 Trillion Threshold | Tulsa News
Description
The U.S. national debt has shattered a major milestone, hitting over $40 trillion for the first time — a staggering leap that’s more than doubled since 2016. With annual deficits projected at $1.5 trillion and tax receipts failing to meet expectations for three straight months, the fiscal crisis is accelerating.
