Thank you for everything Gabby!
Our nation is in debt to you Ms. Giffords; and through it all you came back to keep giving to us.
Good luck as you recover!

White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer: “The American Jobs Act is being blocked by Republicans in the Senate who have voted in unison against these common-sense, broadly supported proposals, and Republicans in the House refuse to even give the bill a vote. Senate Republicans have offered their own alternative as an excuse to oppose the President’s plan, but a look at them side by side leads to only one conclusion: one is truly a jobs plan, and one is not.”
DC Decoder has looked at the GOP proposal twice, once for its rather slim pickings in terms of new proposals and a second time through the lens of Washington Post Fact Checker Glenn Kessler’s work (which was not kind to the bill.)
In terms of Obama’s plan, you can see how it went down in flames here - and the shoddy math employed to discount it here.

good:
We’re not the worst, but we’re certainly not the best.
Daily chart: democracy and equality. There is a strong relationship between the strength of a country’s democracy and the level of inequality between sexes. But a few countries buck that trend.

The President’s Letter to Leaders of Both Houses Re: Intention to Unveil Jobs Program … Denied By Boehner
Dear Mr. Speaker: (Dear Mr. Leader:),
Our Nation faces unprecedented economic challenges, and millions of hardworking Americans continue to look for jobs. As I have traveled across our country this summer and spoken with our fellow Americans, I have heard a consistent message: Washington needs to put aside politics and start making decisions based on what is best for our country and not what is best for each of our parties in order to grow the economy and create jobs. We must answer this call.
Therefore, I respectfully request the opportunity to address a Joint Session of Congress on September 7, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. It is my intention to lay out a series of bipartisan proposals that the Congress can take immediately to continue to rebuild the American economy by strengthening small businesses, helping Americans get back to work, and putting more money in the paychecks of the Middle Class and working Americans, while still reducing our deficit and getting our fiscal house in order. It is our responsibility to find bipartisan solutions to help grow our economy, and if we are willing to put country before party, I am confident we can do just that.

President Obama’s call for a joint session of congress; in order to address the jobs crisis, has been denied by (soon to be ex) speaker Boehner.
As if Republican intention to politically manipulate this nation hasn’t been apparent enough - this truly reveals their intentions.
The President does his job, bringing a progressive agenda forward and regardless of how much they claim the issue is about our budget or jobs - they just simply have no intention of addressing these issues prior to an election.
Many of us, including myself may be partisan; but leadership is not a partisan issue. Don’t criticize the man for not being a leader when you are what stands in his way.
For now…

Does anyone have an example of when conservative economic theory actually worked to pull us out of a recession? By that I mean, when did lowering taxes and regulations actually create jobs and not add to the deficit?
