If Mitt is wise he will pave the road for many more private Bain’s.
If he is less wise (however well intentioned) he will try to put the government in Bain’s shoes. Which will be a recipe for disaster as it will be pulled every which way by conflicting constituent interests rather than a pure desire to prosper capitalistically.
Take it to the bank...Mitt will reign in regulatory burdens on small businesses, give them tax certainty, and with help from a GOP congress repeal Obamacare. This guy has spent decades investing in small outfits and helped them grow. He knows better than any politician in Washington what makes small businesses tick.
If you listened to speeches from his former subordinates, you will have noticed Mitt is tight with spending money. You are very unlikely to see massive expansion of any entitlements including healthcare. Romneycare was a state issue, and obviously popular in MA since it has not been repealed after Mitt’s departure what 8 years ago? I have no problem with any state experimenting with whatever. That is spelled out in constitution as states rights. States can not go overboard in spending levels anyways because they can not print money unlike the federals. States can go bankrupt. Feds can keep on printing money but that too has limits as winessed in Greece & Spain.
