“Mitt Romney likes to say he won’t ‘apologize’ for his success in business. But what he never says is ‘thank you’ – to the American people – for the federal bailout of Bain & Company that made so much of his outsize wealth possible. The federal bailout ultimately engineered by Romney screwed the FDIC – the bank insurance system backed by taxpayers – out of at least $10 million. And in an added insult, Romney rewarded top executives at Bain with hefty bonuses at the very moment that he was demanding his handout from the feds.”
