The latest data from the U.S. Congressional Budget Office (CBO) unveils a staggering reality: in just the first five months of the current fiscal year, the federal government has accumulated a mind-boggling $1.1 trillion in debt—averaging nearly $8 billion daily. If this trend continues, we might as well start budgeting in trillions instead of billions.

This fiscal year, which kicked off last October and will conclude at the end of September, has already seen national debt interest payments surpass federal defense expenditures. This shift suggests that for taxpayers, the national debt is poised to become the biggest line item in the budget—a rather ironic twist for a country that prides itself on military might.

According to the CBO, the current deficit stands at $319 billion more than the same period last year, despite a 2% increase in revenues. The crux of the problem? A staggering 13% rise in spending. This is where the math gets tricky—more money going out than coming in, and the implications are anything but rosy.

Experts, not surprisingly, are sounding alarms over this unsustainable trajectory. “If we don’t change our course, we’re on track to exceed our World War II-era debt levels within just four years,” warned Maya MacGuineas, president of the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget. “Borrowing nearly $8 billion a day is not just unsustainable; it jeopardizes our economy, national security, and the future of generations to come.”

This sobering financial snapshot emerges as Congress wrestles with a spending bill to avert a looming government shutdown and debates the permanent extension of Trump’s tax cuts—policies that are projected to add trillions more to the national debt. It’s as if we’re trying to fill a leaky bucket without addressing the holes.

MacGuineas also noted that the U.S. is set to borrow over $2 trillion this fiscal year alone—a stark contrast to pre-pandemic periods when deficits rarely breached the $1 trillion mark. “This month’s projections serve as a stark reminder of our nation’s increasingly perilous fiscal landscape,” she concluded.
