US national debt surpasses $34T for first time
Quick Glance: Record: US National Debt Exceeds 34 Trillion Dollars
  • On Friday, the total public debt reached a new record of $34.001 trillion, just over three months after crossing the $33 trillion mark.

  • The growing debt burden has been a repeated source of tension in recent battles over government funding, including the standoff last spring over the borrowing limit.

  • Despite reaching an agreement to raise the debt limit just days before the impending U.S. default, Fitch Ratings downgraded the country's credit rating from "AAA" to "AA+" in August.

  • According to Fitch, there has been a steady deterioration of government standards over the last 20 years, including in fiscal and debt matters.
