Second in an occasional series, addressing some of the idiocy that pops up from time to time on Facebook …
In the words of the great philosopher George Takei, “Oh, my.” Let’s count the stupid in this one, shall we?
- Assuming the Romney/Ryan ticket is elected in November, they won’t even take office until 2013, and at the speed Congress runs, they’ll be lucky to have a budget passed by mid-April. So either R&R are overachievers, and will kill a million jobs in eight months at most, or — as I think we strongly suspect — this is just hype.
- The often-heard canard about “rais[ing] taxes on the middle class” comes from a dishonest reading of an incomplete analysis of a tax plan that isn’t even fully written yet. The Obama campaign is hammering this talking point, which should tell you what a political exercise this is.
- Not to mention that the author of the greatest destruction of jobs in American history is already in the White House:
Yep, President Obama has already caused a lot of those pink slips, all right …
And of course, the most dishonest thing about this so-called analysis, is that it was done by people who used to work for Obama.
