Hello Wayne,

 WH> [...]

 WH>>> So here's a pretty simple question.  Is there an _official_
 WH> reporter of the
 WH>>> US national debt?  (If so, where does it show it the amount?)

 >> The Department of the Treasury.
 >> The stats can be viewed online.

 WH> That makes perfect sense.  I get to


 WH>
https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/faqs/Markets/Pages/national-debt.aspx

 WH> and then I go to

 WH>   https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/pd/pd.htm

 WH> The question is which report tells me the total national debt and where.
 WH> I'm not interested in budget deficits or anything.  I just to see how
 WH> and where does the Treasury report the total national debt.  Can you
 WH> point an accurate arrow to it?  I appreciate that!  Thanks!

Here is a site that breaks it down in chunks, year by year -

You can find the same info at the Department of the Treasury site,
but it is not nearly as colorful. :)
