The President’s Record on Economy and jobs

Restoring middle class security

When the President took office, Americans faced the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Today:

  • Instead of losing jobs, we’re creating them—5.4 million new jobs over 32 consecutive months
  • Nearly 75 million women have received tax cuts under President Obama, helping to put an average of $3,600 back in the pockets of the typical working family
  • Small businesses across the country have seen 18 tax cuts, helping to lower costs for millions of women-owned businesses

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan would take us back to the failed economic policies of the past that benefitted the wealthy but hurt the middle class. According to nonpartisan, independent experts, Romney and Ryan would raise taxes on middle-class families with children by an average of $2,000 while giving millionaires and billionaires more tax breaks they don’t need.
