How many jobs will RMoney have to create to drop unemployment down to 4% like he promised.

Is it like 250,000 a month for 12 months? 24 months?

How exactly will deregulating business, lowering taxes on the rich, gutting 'entitlements' and education do that?

250,000 service industry jobs?

Hope the "retroactive" label sticks to him like glue for the rest of the campaign!

First change the metric. Those on "unemployment" will be added to the employed because the word "unemployment" contains the word "employment". Then we add jobs in China to manufacture stuff for Walmart to the number. If that's not enough, they can always lie. How can you not believe a guy with hair like that?
