Does Romney have a good jobs record?

You have no idea about economics in general. Not unusual for libtards.

I have never seen you say anything intelligent about economics, or even make an economic argument beyond "I made a lot of money, so I know a lot about it." I was actually shocked to find out this morning that you haven't really made that much.

MA ranked 47th in job creation under Romney. It's not that great.

The ranking is a fair question - why was his state near last place? Obviously, the national economy was rebounding. We praise governors who are ahead of the curve...shouldn't a Governor who is behind the curve at least be questioned as to why that is?

With Obama, what is the curve? Are you comparing him to the world economy?

The ranking is a fair question if you are below average intelligence and unable to look at what actually happened. The unemployment rate was about 4.7% when Romney left office. It didn't have much further it could go. But it is good to see that you are clinging to Obama's message so desperately.

They were ranked 47th, which means there were 46th other states doing better with lower unemployment rates.

At the peak of the prior business cycle unemployment in Massachusetts dropped to 2.6%. So it could drop significantly further, actually.

And I understand why you prefer to look at the unemployment rate instead of private sector job creation since the lower unemployment rate was in large measure due to substantial increases in government employment.

Also, think how much more to the left Romney was in those days!

No, that is not what it means. But feel free to link us up to your data showing the unemployment rate was lower in 46 other states.

Like I always say, you are not rich for a reason dumbass. 4.7 unemployment is outstanding. How can you create jobs when everybody who wants one has one. You statistic is meaningless unless unemployment is high. Libtard.

Rana I think it means that they were 47th in job creation, not in UI rates. don't let Sf trip you up here.

Okay, so they still sucked compared to other states! Hey look who shows up when you speak his name in vain!

You ridiculed my attempt to suggest that the 47th ranking was a fair question. Really, you started the thread to defend Romney; not to have a discussion about it.

I do believe jobs are a lagging indicator, but when the national economy is doing well, it's definitely fair to ask why some states lag, and why some states excel. In fact, we could learn a lot as a nation by studying the reasons for each. There are different circumstances in each state, but historically, when the national economy is good, the states follow that lead.

I actually have no idea why MA was 47th, but I'm curious about it. Like I said, we definitely praise governors who are ahead of the curve. Why was MA so far behind? What was the reason they were 47th? These are fair questions, especially since one of the cornerstones of Romney's campaign is his record as a jobs creator.

i never ridiculed your attempt. can you actually stay focused on the topic instead of going off on your delusional rants?

tell me...did the ranking increase or decrease under romney? you do realize that when romney took over, the state was ranked 50th. so once again, we have a situation similar to obama taking reins during a bad time, but the difference is, you give obama all the excuses you can come up and give romney all the blame you can come up with.

why is that?

i already explained to you one huge reason MA did not fair well. you of course will ignore anything that doesn't comport to your world view.

Well, his watch did fuck things up pretty much. It takes time for recovery, especially with the European nations doing so poorly. If there is no one to buy goods and services, how do you expect recovery? Businesses are keeping their cash and the Republicans are doing everything they can to impede recovery. Their #1 goal was for Obama to fail, but the bad thing, when Obama fails, we all fail!
