Huntsman campaign blasts Romney for NH jobs record

Like all vulture capitalists (those who buy distressed companies, fire the workers, split up the assets and sell the parts) Romney is a job destroyer not a job creator. He record as Governor is at the bottom of the country during that time frame too. Since he is the best the Republicans have I'd say they are in a tough place next summer and fall.

Yes they are, the more so with gobblers like the weeper of the house and the turtle, but at least they may ensure an Obama-Biden victory and I sincerely hope a few more democratic seats in congress and the senate. Please Santa, I've been good.

Massachusetts used to have a very good economy, they were a leader in wages and jobs, then came Romney. Now they're in same boat as many other states,

Thanks Mitt-hole.

I think your missing the point in calling it "vulture capitalism." Vulture equity funds, like Bain Capital (it definitely fits the bill), buy companies that are distressed anyway. Essentially, they act like vultures and pick the corpse. Vultures, however, aren't responsible for the demise of their prey. Prior management ran those companies into the ground. Bain Capital comes in and buys it up on the cheap and tries to do one of a few things: Usually, (1) trying turn the company as a whole around through a refinancing, (2) stripping the company down and selling profitable subsidiaries, while letting the others go under.

Do people often lose there jobs in the process? Absolutely.

But, what would have happened if Bain Capital (or any other vulture fund) did not buy the company? Those people probably would have lost their jobs anyway. Think back to the use of "vulture." Bain Capital picks of the dying companies that have value.

Also, the employees of the "stripped parts" often keep their jobs.

Look, I am not saying Romney was a job creator at Bain; he wasn't. But, he also wasn't a job destroyer. A lot of people kept jobs that may not have been there if someone hadn't stripped the company.
