Mitt Romney keeps bragging about his experience in the private sector. He brags about his knowledge of job creation. The truth is at his years at Bain Capital, Romney bought out companies and shipped the jobs overseas. They engaged in vampire economics. One of Rick Perry’s aides takes a shot at Romney’s years at Bain Capital.
Asked about the Romney talking point that he knows “the real economy,” Perry said, “I’m thinking Texas is the real economy.”
Perry’s chief strategist, David Carney, went further, suggesting in an interview that the Perry campaign would try to cast Romney as a heartless hedge fund executive.
“I don’t think the country is looking for somebody to be a buyout specialist,” Carney said.
Bain Capital destroyed the livelihoods of many Americans and killed the economic vitality of many towns in the Midwest. This is a vulnerability for Romney. His past deeds are now catching up to haunt them.
