Mitt Romney's bailout problem

Mitt Romney's bailout problem

by Jed Lewison



Mitt Romney isn't against all bailouts. He's only against some of them. And in fact, he's really only against one in particular:

Bailouts approved by Mitt Romney:[font color="white" size="size" face="face"]............[/font]Bailouts opposed by Mitt Romney:
• Wall Street (2008)[font color="white" size="size" face="face"]................................[/font]• American auto industry (2009)
• Salt Lake City Winter Olympics (2002)
• GS Tech, owned by Bain (2002)
• Bain & Co. Consulting (1993)

So when it came to bailing out Wall Street or his own enterprises, Romney was thumbs up. And when it came to taking tens of millions in public subsidies for companies in which he invested, Romney was thumbs up too.
