According to the latest data released by the US Treasury, the US federal government debt has exceeded 40 trillion US dollars. The US media believes that for the US, which has a weak fiscal base, the total government debt exceeding 40 trillion US dollars is an “ominous milestone.” According to the data, as of the 18th, the total outstanding public debt of the US federal government was 40.05 trillion US dollars. This figure is an increase of 2.9 trillion US dollars over the same period last year, an increase of 7.8%; it is nearly 10 trillion US dollars more than last year's gross domestic product, which means that each American is burdened with about 116,000 US dollars in debt.
