““Romney’s plan? Reverse Obama defense cuts. Strengthen our military, and create over 340,000 new jobs for Virginia.” The ad in North Carolina is identical, except that it adds 10,000 jobs to the offer. The ad in Colorado promises 200,000 jobs. The ad in Ohio promises 450,000. The ad in Florida promises 700,000.
The jobs won’t all come from defense spending, of course. Romney also promises to “improve education and job training,” “provide alternatives to foreclosure,” and “stand up to China.” He doesn’t say how a trade war and more job training will solve the nation’s economic problems. Nor does he explain how these ideas square with his rhetoric about free enterprise, much less with his simultaneous pledges to cut taxes, repeal regulations, and eliminate the deficit. But he does assert that all of this will create millions of jobs.”

Romney’s ads against defense cuts treat military spending as a jobs program. - Slate Magazine
So Romney’s going to cut taxes, raise spending, and lower the deficit/shrink the size of the government/fix the economy. In other words, Romney is magic.
Right.
