We will reach $40 trillion before the end of 2026. Congress has already baked in $2 trillion per year deficits which are nearly impossible to reduce. $1.3 trillion per year of interest payments on the debt is impossible to reduce unless the Fed cuts rates to near 0% and prints a massive amount of $$$ digitally to buy govt Treasury debt, lowering the 10 year bond rates also.(Wall Street Mav)
