  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 $16,738,482,606,783.04. We've added 
$6,111,605,557,869.96 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.
