The AGREE Act stems from areas of common agreement between the President’s jobs plan, recommendations from the President’s Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, and plans put forward by both parties in Congress. “The AGREE Act is a genuine bipartisan effort to put politics aside and come together on real job-creating measures that will help put Americans back to work,” said Coons. “We can dwell on the partisan politics that have gridlocked this body and this town for much of our first year in office, or we can look forward and find ways we can work together to help Americans confront this jobs crisis. We need to help our businesses grow and create jobs, and that’s what the AGREE Act is designed to do. I look forward to working with Senator Rubio to build support for the AGREE Act and help it become law.” <a href="http://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/2011/11/senators-coons-rubio-introduce-the-agree-act" target="_blank">http://www.rubio.senate.gov/pu...gree-act</a>

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan I love the idea that Rubio got the dates wrong because his parents were hazy on the details. If you moved from one country to another, you'd remember that moment pretty clearly. It would be a significant moment in any life. The nonsense that it was '57, '58, '59 is a lie of the dog ate my homework variety. It also discounts people who actually did flee Castro.
