2012

Mitt Romney's "jobs plan" really means fewer police officers, firefighters, and teachers.

While we were having our state convention in Houston, the Republicans were having theirs in Fort Worth. Here's a sneak peek at what was happening behind the scenes there.

When Mitt Romney was governor, Massachusetts was number one. Number one in state debt: $18 billion dollars in debt, more debt per person than any other state in the country. At the same time Massachusetts fell to 47th in job creation; one of the worst economic records in the country. First in debt, 47th in job creation. That's Romney Economics. It didn't work then. It won't work now.

Romney wants to cut jobs for firefighters, police officers, and teachers. Jobs we need to help grow the economy. That's a plan too extreme, even for Tea Party Governor Scott Walker. But today, the Romney campaign doubled down.

On Social Security, Jesse Kelly said, "I'd love to eliminate the program." He also said he'd work to eliminate Medicare over time. At the same time, he said he's cut taxes in half for millionaires.
