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

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.

Mitt Romney's Economic Plan? He wants to cut jobs for firefighters, police, and teachers. It's the same thing he did in Massachusetts. The plan didn't work then and it won't work now.

Yesterday Mitt Romney said of President Obama, "...he wants another stimulus, he wants to hire more government workers. He says we need more fireman, more policeman, more teachers. Did he not get the message of Wisconsin? The American people did. It's time for us to cut back on government and help the American people."

Yesterday we got some news: the Romney campaign raised $76.8 million dollars in May. But that's only what Romney's official campaign raised.
