Republican Thievery. If you don't have any good ideas of your own, just steal some!

I have plagiarised this post from an answer to a Eugene Robinson article in the Washington Post. http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eugene-robinson-republicans-steal-medicare-from-the-democrats/2012/08/27/6c7a06b2-f073-11e1-892d-bc92fee603a7_story.html?hpid=z3

For all of those with short memory problems-
 the GDP was -8% and today it's 2.2+% (it'd be over 3.2 if not for all the gov't layoffs in state/local -- particularly teachers)

 - the DOW was ~7.2K and now it's 13.5K

- the Recovery Act provided ~4million jobs (according to the CBO)

 - rescue of the auto industry succeeded in saving over a million jobs; GM on top; Chrysler's 1Q '12 results showed earnings up over 25%

 - manufacturing jobs have increased to pre 2004 levels

 - US home sales rose 3.4% in April ’12 from March

 - federal spending is down for the 1st time in 40 years

- taxes cut for every working American

 - taxes cut for small businesses 18x - $200 billion in tax relief and incentives for small business

- exports are up over 30%; exports to Western Hemisphere up over 40%

- 3 international trade deals signed with S. Korea, Panama and Columbia

 - Affordable Care Act signed(the health care system in the US is decimating American middle class)

 - Ledbetter Act signed

- added ~ 900 border patrol officers

 - out of Iraq

 - killed bin Laden

 -gave Paul Ryan 21 MILLION DOLLARS for the stimulus that he says he never asked for

 Want more?

 Now you tell me Romney's record.

 Mittens did not pay any taxes for 10 YEARS!

 Vet Romney -- but you won't do it.
