Our Unconscionable National Debt

Floor Speech

Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Mr. COFFMAN of Colorado. 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 $15,713,655,602,953.23. We've added $5,086,778,554,040.15 to our debt in a little over 3 years. This is debt our Nation, our economy, and our children could have avoided with a balanced budget amendment.
