Romney did so well with taxachussets did’nt he?

Actually I'm going to bet you have no idea what Romney did up here in Massachusetts other than a)didn't try to make abortion illegal, and b)passed a law requiring everyone to buy health care insurance.

Romney was a piss-poor Governor. And that was BEFORE
Romney's Socialized medicine and coverup of the BIGdig kicked in. Here are the facts from CATO.

"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.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

Romney: Proven Loser. Bad Economist. Poor Sport. Backstabber.
