Presidential hopeful and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson is that rare, rare politician who both understands the government's economic role and is willing to tell the truth about it:
Don't get me wrong....We are proud of this distinction. We had a 11.6 percent job growth that occurred during our two terms in office. But the headlines that accompanied that report—referring to governors, including me, as
