Not that Romney hasn't done just fine at milking the government when it suits his purposes, the most obvious instance being
the incredible $1.5 billion in aid he siphoned out of the U.S. Treasury as head of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake – a sum greater than all federal spending for the previous seven U.S. Olympic games combined. Romney, the supposed fiscal conservative, blew through an average of $625,000 in taxpayer money per athlete – an astounding increase of 5,582 percent over the $11,000 average at the 1984 games in Los Angeles. In 1993, right as he was preparing to run for the Senate, Romney also engineered a government deal worth at least $10 million for Bain's consulting firm, when it was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.

We built this!!!
For taxpayers $$!!!
But we want government out of our lives. Except when we need the olympics and we need to keep Bain afloat.
Is Romney still bragging about his time in Bain?
