In no less than 15 new 35 second ads titled "A Better Future", (it gets funnier) Mitt Romney reveals his plans for creating jobs. The slime will be oozing out of TV sets across Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia.
Each ad begins with 10 seconds of Mitt at the convention claiming--
"This president can ask us to be patient. This president can tell us it was someone else's fault. But this president cannot tell us that you are better off today than when he took office."
I'll give him some credit-that's 2 truths in a row.
This is followed by some woman who apparently lives and works in all 8 states professing--
"Here in (state name) we're not better off under President Obama."
Then some lies.
Finally we get the goods. In 5 of the 8 states the ads explain that Mitt will create jobs by reversing Obama's Defense cuts and strengthening the Military. You know--big
government jobs.
Each new hire will receive a free English to Farsi dictionary.
In 2 of these states he'll create manufacturing jobs by standing up to China.
Word on the street has it this will be done by lowering the minimum wage to $200 a month.
In 2 states he will repeal those pesky regulations and foster innovation.
Those innovations should come in handy.
In New Hampshire he's going to make tax cuts for the middle class (those making between $250,000 and 5 million a year in Romney World) permanent. And create North American (tar sands) energy independence.
And the bestest part, in the 3 states with the lowest unemployment rates, he's going to create more jobs than the number of people who are actually unemployed. That's right 130,000 jobs in Iowa where 88,000 people are unemployed. And 340,000 new jobs in Virginia where 254,000 are unemployed. New Hampshire gets 59,000 new jobs for it's 40,000 unemployed.
There you have it- the Romney, Ryan Plan or what I like to call ARH ARH.
