Governor: Over the past five years, 100,000 new jobs were created in my state. My state has low income taxes and a low level of overall business regulation compared to other states. Clearly, these pro-growth economic policies have been successful at creating new jobs.
Reporter: The economy in your state relies heavily on the energy industry, and the energy industry is subject to the same federal regulations as other states. For the past five years, the energy industry has been in a phase of rapid growth. Thus, it was not your economic policies but the growth of the energy industry that helped create so many jobs.
The reporter disputes the Governor’s assertion by
A. Citing alternative statistics that disprove the Governor
B. Questioning whether the Governor’s numbers are correct
C. Agreeing with the governor on income taxes, but not on the level of business regulation
D. Pointing out an alternative explanation for the new jobs created
E. Stating that the state’s overall business regulations are the same as those in other states
