据观察者网报道，当地时间1月2日，美国财政部发布的报告显示，美国国债总额首次达到34万亿美元，从33.911万亿美元升至34.001万亿美元。这一“受限制债务”类别不包括国库券和零息债券。与此同时，计入联邦债务上限的债务从33.794万亿美元升至33.89万亿美元。美国国债总额的持续攀升，使得政府关门危机再次逼近，引发市场担忧。
美国国债的快速增长源于多种因素，包括政府支出、税收政策和社会福利等。随着债务上限的逼近，美国政府面临着是否再次提高债务上限的抉择。若无法达成一致，政府可能被迫关门，引发一系列政治、经济和社会问题。
此次美国政府能否再次“惊险”过关，取决于国会两党在债务上限问题上的谈判结果。然而，在当前政治环境下，两党之间的主要矛盾和分歧加大了达成共识的难度。

According to the report released by the US Treasury Department, the total national debt of the United States has reached 3.4 trillion USD for the first time, rising from 33.911 trillion USD to 34.001 trillion USD. This “restricted debt” category does not include treasury bills and zero-coupon bonds. At the same time, the debt subject to the federal debt ceiling increased from 33.794 trillion USD to 33.89 trillion USD. The continuous rise in the total national debt of the United States has brought the government shutdown crisis closer, causing market concerns.
The rapid growth of the US national debt stems from a variety of factors, including government spending, tax policies, and social welfare. Whether the US government can once again “escape dangerously” depends on the outcome of the negotiations between the two parties in Congress on the debt ceiling issue. However, in the current political environment, the main contradictions and divisions between the two parties make it more difficult to reach a consensus.
