                    OUR UNCONSCIONABLE NATIONAL DEBT

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 29, 2011

  Mr. COFFMAN of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, as we today approve a 
continuing resolution at a non-emergency spending level equivalent to 
$1.043 trillion, and additional War Funding at an annualized rate of 
$119 billion, our national debt is $14,707,406,820,591.87 trillion.
  On January 6, 2009, the start of the 111th Congress, the national 
debt was $10.63 trillion.
  This means the national debt has increased by $4.07 trillion since 
then.
  This debt and its interest payments we are passing to our children 
and all future Americans.
