As Mitt Romney attacks President Obama over recent comments, Jennifer Granholm argues it’s Romney who really doesn’t understand how the economy works. The successful businessman in Romney’s latest ad who says he didn’t need government help actually had lots of help in the form of tax breaks and government contracts. And there’s no shame in that, Granholm says. “Everyone in America gets help building their business, raising their families, living their lives. And that’s a good thing! We are a community, after all.” Everyone in our greater American community benefits from the government, whether through tax breaks or by using roads and electricity.
