Governor Romney's Job Growth Record -- Worse than Obama and Carter's
Mutt Romkey's sole claim to the presidency is that his business experience
will enable him to accelerate job growth in America.
The GOP bashing debates revealed that the Mexican born anchor baby was a failure as governor, with Massachusetts 47th in the nation in job growth, and only one of the four states that did not recover to pre-2001 recession job levels before the
Bush/Cheney economic collapse hit.
But, let us talk less about rankings, and more about actual jobs.
What is that story? Again, for Romkey it is dismal.
During Romkey's four years as Governor of Massachusetts, he added 61,000 new
jobs. At the time, Massachusetts had 2.5 percent of the nation's population..
Thus, extrapolated to the nation as a whole, Romney would have added 2.4
million jobs.
In four years.
During the first three years of President Obama's Administration, 4.1
million new private-sector jobs have been added.
Governor Romkey's 2.4 million jobs is not quite 60 percent of President
Obama's 4.1 million. That is, President Obama has added 40 percent more jobs
in absolute terms than the Ken Doll in ¾ of the time.
Romkey is now comparing himself to President Jimmy Carter, seeming to
believe that anyone would believe that he, Romkey, is somehow tougher or
better than the former president. Why Romkey would believe that others would
come to such conclusions is baffling.
We have already dispelled the notion that Romkey, who avoided military
service as if it were a plague, could hold a national security candle to
President Carter.
But, what about job growth? Jimmy Carter was a former peanut farmer, without
the Wall Street experience or savvy that Mutt Romkey proclaims his Bain
experience provides him. So, how could President Carter possibly have added
jobs, especially with the Arab oil embargo, the Iran hostage crisis and the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan with which Carter had to contend?
Right? Sorry, Mutt, wrong again. Under President Carter, America added 10
million jobs in four years, a faster pace than under President Reagan, and
just slightly slower than under President Clinton.
Romkey's extrapolated-to-the-nation job growth during his tenure as governor
is less than 25 percent of President Carter's record.
Still want to compare your jobs record to President Carter, Mitt?
