                       Monday, September 9, 2013

  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 $16,932,605,798,305. We've added $6,305,728,749,392 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.
