                        Thursday, March 3, 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 $19,090,880,799,021.63. We've added 
$8,464,003,750,108.55 to our debt in 6 years. This is over $7.5 
trillion in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have 
avoided with a balanced budget amendment.
