Speaking of homeowners struggling to keep their homes, Romney responded to a question about helping them. “Help them? Of course we help them.” How, Romney gave a list: crack down on fraud, get government out of the way, try to get more flexibility from banks, get economy going again. And repeal Dodd-Frank, which he says made it harder for banks.

In October 2011, Romney said this about the housing crisis: “don’t try to stop the foreclosure process. Let it run its course and hit the bottom.”
