He says he is a economy guy by his state under his leadership was one of the very worst ever"

One he tells people he had a 3 billion dollar deficit in his state when he started in office. That’s not really true, in actuality because of capital gains taxes that deficit was cut to 1.3 billion, and he took care of that little problem by raising fees in his state.

His state was also the slowest in job growth in the US only in front of states that got hit with a hurricane. Seriously every other state was able to gain in the economy and job growth except the places hit with a natural disaster and the state that was run by the Econ guru Mitt Romney.

Oh yeah and Mass under his governship was the third highest in population loss. People were almost pushing to get out of his state. Look buying and selling company’s doesn't exactly make you an expert on ob growth, that’s all I’m saying. 

The economic performance of Romney while in office was one of the worst here are some facts check it out:

 *As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.

* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.

* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.

* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.

"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.

Romney's vaunted healthcare plan is horrible. It forces individuals to purchase medical coverage and slaps the non-compliant with "tax penalties," as a state-government radio ad described them last November. These charges were $219 in 2007, equal to the personal exemption on Massachusetts' state tax. However, this year's formula could crank this figure up to $912. Businesses with at least 11 workers either must offer health insurance or face annual fines of $295-per-uninsured employee. This is consistent with Romney's statement at a January 5 GOP presidential debate: "I like mandates."

This program is run not by the free market, but by the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector, a Romney-created government bureaucracy. For 2007, reports the Pacific Research Institute's Sally Pipes, Romney Care is expected to have cost taxpayers some $619 million. That's $147 million and 31 percent above original projections. Right now its like 250 in the red

One last thing Mitt Romney has only become a conservative to run for Pres. Go back a couple years and he was all "I'm not trying to bring back the Reagan years". Now he's in love with Reagan and he thinks he saw his father walk with MLK.

Seriously who is this guy, wait I know someone that will say anything to get elected and his opinions and morals change at the same rate his audience does.
