                       Tuesday, February 23, 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 $19,052,403,868,282.85. We've added 
$8,425,526,819,369.77 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.
