Mitt Romney has mentioned many times that his policies will add 12 million jobs. In the recent debate ( transcript here ) he specified this would happen in 4 years and is a result of his five-point plan.

That’s why I put out a five-point plan that gets America 12 million new jobs in four years and rising take-home pay.

Or at least that is what he seems to be saying.

Dana Milbank of the Washington Post has written an article called Romney’s facts are curious things. A great article that examines this 12 million jobs claim. Turns out there is no strong tie to his 5 point plan and the 4 years thing is a bit fuzzy too. But read the article. You’ll be glad you did.
