  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 $19,366,974,554,360.50. We've added 
$8,740,097,505,447.42 to our debt in 7 years. This is over $8.5 
trillion in debt our nation, our economy, and our children could have 
avoided with a balanced budget amendment.
