US Government going into Debt

According to an article from CNN, the debt of the US Government has been increasing day by day, nearly $1 million dollars a minute. At the moment, the US Government owes $9.13 trillion dollars. It's pretty scary thinking about the world when we get older; the fact that over the next 25 years the amount of senior citizens will double, leaving their jobs and expecting the government to send them financial aid. This can be connected to World History because it shows how even the strongest of countries can face problems when the government is not doing the best it can to provide the country with success.
