TreasuryDirect-National debt
The last time we referenced this table (April 17) the national debt stood at just under $24.5 trillion. It is now $24.71 trillion. Another $210 billion has been added just over the past two weeks. Over $1.5 trillion has been added since the turn of the year and more than $1 trillion in the month of April.
