This will be in the debate and President Obama will slam Romney on it. The Washington Post reported this morning (by its factchecker) that the Romney jobs plan was a "bait and switch," Four Pinocchios! And now OFA is blasting the news:
In yet another instance of Mitt Romney’s campaign not telling the truth, it turns out that the numbers behind his ‘jobs plan’ just don’t add up.
For months, Romney has pledged to create 12 million jobs over his first term — a number economists project will be created under current policy — but the numbers he’s cited for his claims aren’t based on evaluations of his plan and are ‘squishy’ at best.
Mitt Romney thinks he can run out the clock by not coming clean about policy details, but the American people deserve the truth about his plans. And the truth is that economists have concluded that the severe cuts he would make like education, research and development, manufacturing and infrastructure could eliminate 1 million jobs and shrink economic growth by 1 percent.
WaPo, the Plum Line, quoting Obama Campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt
The tax plan is phony: the Math does not add up. The Jobs Plan is phony: Based on Malarkey.
Game On Mitt. President Obama's bringing the truth tonight and it is going to hurt Romney bad. The truth matters and it will be heard tonight.
