                       Friday, February 12, 2016

  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 $18,991,325,677,268.42. We've added 
$8,364,448,628,355.34 to our debt in 6 years. This is over $8 trillion 
in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have avoided 
with a balanced budget amendment.
