GOP Response: Apple Created More Jobs Than Government Stimulus

Bearing the Republican banner in the party's response to the State of the Union speech, Gov Mitch Daniels (R-IN) used a tech titan to hit back at the President's jobs proposals.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who died last year, did more to help the economy than government efforts, Gov Daniels argued. "Contrary to the President's constant disparagement of people in business, it's one of the noblest of human pursuits," Gov Daniels said in his prepared remarks. "The late Steve Jobs - what a fitting name he had - created more of them than all those stimulus dollars the President borrowed and blew."
