                    OUR UNCONSCIONABLE NATIONAL DEBT

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MIKE COFFMAN

                              of colorado

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 4, 2013

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, on January 3, 2009, the day I took office, 
the national debt was $10,627,961,295,930.67.
  Today, it is $16,433,791,850,294.04. We've added 
$5,805,830,554,363.37 to our debt in 4 years. This is $5.8 trillion in 
debt our Nation, our economy, and our children could have avoided with 
a Balanced Budget Amendment. We must stop this unconscionable 
accumulation of debt.
