As Paul Krugman notes in the NYT, Romney is promising 500,000 jobs a month by returning us to the economic policies of the "wonderful" Bush years.
While everyone, including president Obama, would like to see the current
jobs growth numbers be better, the numbers are still looking good
compared to the shrub's average numbers. So how is Romney going to do
better than Obama by returning us to the shrub?
As Business Insider shows, even excluding the disastrous final year, the shrub only generated an average of 65,000 jobs per month - compared to
131,000 per month under Obama. If you count everything, the number was
an anemic 20,000.
Let Romney and the repugicans talk lovingly about the good old days of jobs
growth during the shrub years, and then give them the facts. Immediately
after, give them a glass of water so they can swallow it all since the
truth might get stuck in their throats.
