Mitt Romney urges kids to borrow 20K from parents
What planet does Mitt Romney come from? This guy has demonstrated time and again that he knows nothing about real people, those of us who go to work in the morning and come home at night, hoping at the end of the month we’ve made enough money to pay our bills.
Real people have to struggle, and real parents, those who do that going to work in the morning and coming home at night thing, have to struggle to provide for their family. There isn’t always enough money at the end of the day to give our kids everything they want. Mitt Romney, born into great wealth, has never really had to worry about where the next dollar is going to come from and that is evident from his latest suggestions:
(Newser) Good advice for young entrepreneurs or another sign that Mitt Romney can’t relate to ordinary Americans? Romney told Ohio college students yesterday that if they wanted to start a business, they should just borrow $20,000 or so from their parents, as a friend of his did. (Jimmy John of sandwich franchise fame, notes the New York Times.) “We’ve always encouraged young people: Take a shot, go for it, take a risk, get the education, borrow money if you have to from your parents, start a business,” he said at Otterbein University, notes the progressive blog ThinkProgress.
“The advice fits right into the characterization that Romney is ‘out of touch’ with regular people,” writes Annie-Rose Strasser. “Most students don’t have parents with $20,000 in disposable capital sitting around to give to their kids to start a business.”
So I ask you, would you have thought to ask your parents for 20K so you could open a business? If so would they have happily given it to you?

lol! This guy is unreal. It might do him good to spend some time in public housing or at a food bank until he can broaden his frame of reference for people’s life experiences. This isn’t meant as a cut to him–based on how things look now, it would do his campaign a lot of good. You can’t know how much you don’t know, until you do….
Romney is totally out of touch with reality! $20,000 ??? Might as well ask for magic underwear and a planet of your own to rule when you die!
Ha, no. My parents would tell me to grow up and go earn my own money. Besides, since when do we have 20k just sitting around…?
