New source: US Treasury Fiscal Data
The federal government's own books join the library: debt, deficit, receipts, outlays, and interest costs, straight from the Treasury's Fiscal Data service. Official, keyless, and updated monthly.
Fiscal data is the backbone of policy reporting, and until now it lived in a maze of Treasury tools. This release brings it into the library in one shape: cleaned, cited, and ready to chart. Coverage runs from the daily debt series back to 1993 through the full Monthly Treasury Statement.
What's included
- Total public debt outstanding, daily back to 1993
- Monthly deficit and surplus, receipts, and outlays
- Interest expense and average interest rates on the debt
- Category breakdowns through the Treasury Detail connector
Why it matters
Interest costs crossing defense spending was one of the most-cited fiscal stories of the year. The series behind that story now lives here: cited, current, and one click from a chart you can publish.
Charts stay current. Anything you publish from these series updates automatically as the Treasury posts new months.
The cadence continues: new sources land regularly, each with its own release note here. For the data stories built on them, read Insights.
