  Mr. COFFMAN of Colorado. Mr. Speaker, today for the first time our 
national debt has surpassed $15 trillion dollars. Currently, our 
national debt is $15,033,607,255,920.32.
  On January 6, 2009, the start of the 111th Congress, the national 
debt was $10,638,425,746,293.80.
  This means the national debt has increased by $4,395,181,509,626.52 
since then. This debt and its interest payments we are passing to our 
children and all future Americans.
