  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, on January 20, 2009, the day President 
Obama took office, the national debt was $10,626,877,048,913.08.
  Today, it is $16,734,808,644,648.07. We've added 
$6,110,451,189,734,235.05 to our debt in 4 years. This is $6 trillion 
in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have avoided 
with a balanced budget amendment.
