Notes: A fairly formulaic attack.

DNC Communications Director Brad Woodhouse issued the following statement:

“Mitt Romney’s track record on job creation really stands out – because it’s one of the worst in the nation.  During his time as governor of Massachusetts, that state ranked 47th out of 50 in job creation.  Now, Mitt Romney wants to take his policies nationwide, stymying job creation in all 50 states by enacting an even more drastically draconian budget plan than the one suggested by Paul Ryan.  Mitt Romney is so out of touch with the needs of ordinary Americans that he thinks we actually want to make life tougher for our parents and grandparents by ending Medicare as we know it and slashing Social Security so that we can continue to fund tax breaks for millionaires and billionaires like him.”
