Thanks. So reading that table, it looks like that the "Total Public Debt Outstanding" was $36.218 Trillion on 1/21/2025. The same number as of 4/22/2025 (latest date on that table) was $36.215 Trillion. And the number you reported as of yesterday (4/29) was slightly under the 4/22 amount.

That looks to me the national debt has decreased during the first 100 days of this administration.

Strange how nobody is talking about that. Hmmmmmmm ...... Could be because there was principal paydown along with interest payouts, but still - when is the last time the national debt decreased?
