Mitt Romney’s signature accomplishment outside the public sector was begging the federal government for free stuff.

“Romney’s work on Olympics, Mass. projects reveals complex history with earmarks.” Washington Post

“Yes, he saved the Utah games. But he did it, as you would expect, by slashing costs and begging for big checks.” Salon

“In ’02 Romney Touted D.C. Connections, Federal Funds” ABC News

“I’d be embarrassed if I didn’t always ask for federal money whenever I got the chance.”
