[Then all the Fox commentators freak out and start talking over him]
[Finally one asks a "question" that is actually a pro-Romney line]: But he had so many new jobs created for all the jobs that were lost, it was a net gain, no?
David Stockman: I don’t think so. All the jobs that he talks about came from Staples. That was a very early venture stage deal that they got out of long before it got to its current size.

The term LBO means Leveraged Buy Out.

Romney stripped companies of cash to make his fortune and the workers be damned was his life-time philosophy. He was not in the business of creating jobs; he was in the business of looting companies to enrich himself.
