                      Wednesday, November 13, 2013

  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 $17,154,624,205,951.04. We've added 
$6,527,747,157,037.96 to our debt in 4 years. This is $6.5 trillion in 
debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have avoided with 
a balanced budget amendment.
