er. He may be able to claim creating some jobs. But outside of Bain Capital, where were the high paying jobs?
His experience includes stripping pension (yes, you worked here for lower wages for 20 years in part because of your promise of a pension... Signal the Simpson's Nelson "Ha Ha!" pointing at those who budgeted their savings based on projected pensions.) It includes firing high paying jobs (get rid of mid level and higher level management.) Primarily his record is moving companies to lower wage paying areas (in the US, or outside of the US).
He has *no* experience spurring high paying jobs.
He has *no* interest in spurring the creation of high paying jobs - as the higher the wages, the lower the extractable profits - which is the core of Bain's business model.

But per my earlier point - am still waiting for his loose promise per higher paying jobs, to be challenged per his experience at Bain, and his experience as Governor.

(48,955 posts)false promises (per his actual track record), as his default answer to most questions. Forget foreign policy - it all keeps coming back to better jobs ... with the irony that his entire professional career when he wasn't serving govt.his model for making HUGE profits was cutting jobs, and lowering wages for existing jobs, and raiding pensions.
