America owes money primarily due to the national debt, which accumulates when the government spends more than it collects in revenue. This debt is financed through the issuance of Treasury bonds, notes, and bills to investors, both domestic and international. Factors contributing to this debt include government spending on social programs, military expenditures, and economic stimulus measures. Additionally, tax cuts without corresponding spending reductions can further exacerbate the deficit and increase borrowing needs.
