The correct answer is "It’s increasing".
Federal debt has suffered a nearly exponential trend in growth due to 2 major causes:

- The government had to grant loans to the financial corporations and American car manufacturing companies, as they were institutions that were "Too big to fail" following the economic crisis of 2008.
