The debt load of the U.S. is growing at a quicker clip in recent months, increasing about $1 trillion nearly every 100 days.
The nation’s debt permanently crossed over to $34 trillion on Jan. 4, after briefly crossing the mark on Dec. 29, according to
data from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. It reached $33 trillion on Sept. 15, 2023, and $32 trillion on June 15, 2023, hitting this accelerated pace. Before that, the $1 trillion move higher from $31 trillion took about eight months.
U.S. debt, which is the amount of money the federal government borrows to cover operating expenses, now stands at nearly $34.4 trillion, as of Wednesday. Bank of America investment strategist Michael Hartnett believes the 100-day pattern will remain intact with the move from $34 trillion to $35 trillion.

In an unprecedented fiscal pattern, the United States’ national debt is escalating rapidly, with the velocity of debt accumulation rising by $1 trillion every 100 days.
The debt surpassed $34 trillion on Jan. 4. Financial analysts are noting the speed at which the country’s debt burden has been growing — a stark acceleration that could carry significant implications for the economy.
To put the new rise into perspective, the debt expanded to $33 trillion on Sept. 15 after having reached $32 trillion just three months prior on June 15. Before this period, it took nearly eight months for the debt to swell from $31 trillion, suggesting a significant uptick in the rate at which the government is borrowing.
