BlackRock CEO warns US $36 trillion Treasury could "crush" economy

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink warned at the 2025 Forbes Summit that the United States would be "drowning" in debt unless a way was found to stimulate and grow the economy.
Fink pointed out that the U.S. national debt has grown from $8 trillion in 2000 to $36 trillion now, and the upcoming tax bill is expected to add another $2.3-2 400 billion. He stressed that if the U.S. fails to achieve real growth of 3% per year, it will face a serious crisis.
Despite the dire situation, Fink offered solutions, including freeing up more private capital, streamlining the permitting process, rebuilding infrastructure, and addressing the projected shortage of 500,000 electricians. He said the foundation for growth remains, but if the US continues to hover on 2% growth, the national debt will eventually overwhelm the country.
