Fact check romney's lies.

Romney: I’ll create 12 million new jobs

Direct quote:“If I’m president I will create — help create 12 million new jobs in this country with rising incomes.”
Fact check: Economic forecasting organizations have already projected the economy will add about 11.8 million jobs through 2016, reports The New York Times. Some forecasts predict lower growth, but are based on Congress not making extensions that would halt a “fiscal cliff” at year’s end.



Romney: 23 million without jobs

Direct quote:“We’ve got 23 million people out of work or stopped looking for work in this country.”
Fact check: This number accounts for people who are: 1) Unemployed, 2) Working part-time, and 3) Wanting to work and have looked for a job in the past year, but not the past month.
