Why Mitt Romney Can't Honestly Say His Tax Plan Will Create 7 Million Jobs

The Political Landscape is a weekly podcast where we discuss the news of the day with leading experts.

This week we have Jim Tankersley here to discuss Mitt Romney’s Tax Plan. In a recent piece, Jim interviewed economist John Diamond about his analysis of Romney’s tax plan, which found that the Romney tax plan has the potential to create up to 6.8 million jobs over the next 10 years. It’s a number Romney has been promoting widely. But as Jim learned, it’s a number that might be a pipe dream.
