During a real crisis no one should take the "advice" of failed ex-Governor Romney
who when Massachusetts was roaring, busted it,
and got a "C"-rating from Cato --- even before his fascist socialist RomneyCARE was installed.
Romney also betrayed President Bush. Here are the facts.
"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.

What were the trends during his tenure? How was it doing before? After?
Yes, and MAss was in such healthy fiscal shape when Romney stepped in to try to save it.

It’s Massachusetts. Liberals don’t work. That can hardly be blamed on Romney.
I understand everyone’s suspicion over his past, but at least he says all the right things without really pulling punches(tho he does ramble too much).
Now now don’t confuse us with facts.
