WASHINGTON, DC – Today marks the second anniversary of the failed Stimulus package being signed into law. With a final price tag of over $1 trillion, the Stimulus bill did nothing but add to our out-of-control national debt, which now stands at over $14 trillion. Despite promises after passage of keeping the unemployment rate under 8 percent and creating or saving 3.5 million jobs, the unemployment rate has been over 9 percent for a record 21 straight months and 2.5 million jobs have been lost since being implemented.

Over the weekend I was horrified to learn about the shooting of my colleague Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. My family and I extend our deepest thoughts and prayers to Rep. Giffords, her family, staff and the people of Tucson, Az. We offer our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the victims of this shooting who did lose their lives. There is no place in a free society for senseless acts of violence like this.
