Fact Check: Romney’s 12 million jobs
Mitt Romney’s ‘new math’ for his jobs plan doesn’t add up - The Washington Post
This pledge amounts to an average of 250,000 jobs a month, a far cry from the 500,000 jobs a month that Romney once claimed would be created in a normal recovery. In recent months, the economy has averaged about 150,000 jobs a month.
Moreover, the Fact Checker column this week gave Romney Four Pinocchios for an television ad that incorrectly jumbles together a bunch of studies to achieve that 12 million figure.
