Part of Romney's stump speech was that he would "create 12 million new jobs" --well in little reported news most economists think that the next 4-6 years will see about that gain anyway just as a matter of normal correction from a drastic economic downturn.

40 years of the Republican pillars - economics and defense - dissolved around them in the Bush years. I think it was Bill Maher (if that is important to you) who once said "We hire Republicans to be dicks. Bust the criminals and watch our money." something like that.
