U.S. National Debt

This is not a live government feed. It starts from the U.S. Treasury's official "Debt to the Penny" figure (anchor date noted below) and ticks upward using the average daily growth rate observed in recent Treasury data. On load, it tries to re-anchor itself from Treasury's public Fiscal Data API; if that request is blocked by your browser or network, it silently falls back to the built-in anchor below. Either way, the number between official daily updates is an extrapolation — treat it as a reasonable estimate, not exact to the penny.
