                      Tuesday, September 17, 2013

  Mr. COFFMAN. Mr. Speaker, on January 20, 2009, the day President 
Obama took office, the national debt was $10,626,877,048,913.
  Today, it is $16,738,502,722,145. We've added $6,111,625,673,232 to 
our debt in 4 years. This is $6 trillion in debt our nation, our 
economy, and our children could have avoided with a balanced budget 
amendment.
