>> Romney called for back then funding to be provided for by private industry, but with guarantees by the government. My recollection is that he believed private industry could provide the funding, but as a last ditch effort, yes, government could guarantee some debt. This is radically different from what happened. But your point is taken -- Romney would have stood ready to guarantee some debt given an appropriate restructuring of the business. I probably would have supported that as well. Romney's editorial: nytimes.com Will one day, eventually, be shown to have been prescient.
