Political Propaganda

In a recent commercial televised nationally on behalf of their Republican campaign gives you a brief vision of "The Romney Plan." This campaign commercial includes Mr. Romney checking off his list of goals under his leadership for this country. His check list includes helping the middle class, "getting tough on China, balancing the budget, cutting the deficit and championing small business."  In this blog, Jeremy Peters highlights how stating the obvious can have generous results. Romney's goal is to create twelve million jobs in a four year span. Peters addresses how "that’s 250,000 jobs per month, or higher than the average monthly job growth for the last two years by about 100,000." Numbers look nice until you've taken your gullible goggles off and actually do some reliable research. A forecasting firm, Macroeconomic Advisers, predict that at this steady rate the country is already going, 11.8 million jobs will be creating. Therefore, based on those details "The Romney Plan," is only another campaign commercial directed towards the average American that pays attention and tax, but no time to the issue at hand.
