"Staples founder Tom Stemberg has warned of the grave threat to economy"

9:07: A video is touting Bain Capital’s investment in Steel Dynamics, even though Romney didn’t “build that.” The government invested more than twice as much as Bain Capital did in the Indiana plant: $37 million from the government v. $18.2 million from Bain.
