  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 $17,596,427,039,854.56. We've added 
$6,969,549,990,941.48 to our debt in 5 years. This is over $6.9 
trillion in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have 
avoided with a balanced budget amendment.
