On Apr 30, 2018, the debt held by the public was $1.534 x 10^13.
On May 31, 2018, the debt held by the public was $1.543 x 10^13, an increase of about $92 billion, and almost exactly where it was at the end of March. Interest paid on the debt for April was $35 billion. Also note that Intragovernmental Holdings was at $5.733 trillion on 4/30/18. At some point, this will peak and come back down.
In the grand scheme of things, this is kind of boring. At some point, we will see $100 billion increases every month, and the interest increase dramatically. So we are still in kind of a calm period before the drama re-starts in the next couple of years.
