The U.S. Treasury plans to borrow nearly $1.4 trillion over six months, with $546 billion from October to December and $823 billion from January to March next year, reflecting rising debt and fiscal challenges. With the national debt nearing $36 trillion and interest payments consuming a growing share of federal revenues, economists warn the debt outlook remains uncertain, with no stabilization expected by 2029.
