During comments overheard by an NBC news reporter, Mitt Romney told a crowd at a private fundraiser last night that he might eliminate the Department of Housing and Urban Development, scale back the Department of Education, and eliminate some specific tax provisions. There are all details that he has refused to divulge on the campaign trail:
Romney went into a level of detail not usually seen by the public in the speech, which was overheard by reporters on a sidewalk below. One possibility floated by Romney included the elimination of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Cabinet-level agency once led by Romney’s father, George.
“I’m going to take a lot of departments in Washington, and agencies, and combine them. Some eliminate, but I’m probably not going to lay out just exactly which ones are going to go,” Romney said. “Things like Housing and Urban Development, which my dad was head of, that might not be around later.

ReplyDeleteThe sooner we get people that are capable of working and paying market rent off of rental assistance, the better. Unfortunately, these people are part of what I call "the entitlement population." The are probably the same folks getting food stamps and energy assistance. I have worked 3 jobs at one time to take care of my obligations and never once accepted state or federal assistance. It's time the governments wean this population off handouts.
