When innocent citizens asked about unemployment last night at the town hall presidential debate on Long Island, would Mitt Romney again tout his plan to create 12 million jobs? Unable to Etch-a-Sketch away that often repeated claim — one that he has hired several conservative economists to endorse — the Republican candidate had little choice. It's up on his campaign website, it's there in his own well-advertised words, and it is the central appeal of his candidacy for the non-billionaire voting bloc.


Says "Bad Arithmetic". Is
Nation of Change a reliable source?

1. Well Nation of Change features very progressive pundits...

...such as Amy Goodman, Robert Reich, Jim Hightower, etc. "Reliable" refers to how often they are right.

2. the source is Glenn Kessler at Washington Post

I didn't read it because it looks difficult, and I don't find Kessler reliable. If Krugman writes something about it I will read that.

Here is Kessler's article:
