  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 $16,738,708,293,971.53. We've added 
$6,111,831,245,058.45 to our debt in 4 and a half years. This is $6 
trillion in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have 
avoided with a balanced budget amendment.
