Romney is known to be cheap- he flies coach for example... which is where he had his brawl with the rapper
I've seen his stables in NH, his property adjoins a friend's - they are larger than my house and a lot nicer. Some people are selectively thrifty but spend money like crazy elsewhere. To the best of my knowledge Romney is no spendthrift, but nor is he a miser.
You seem like a sensible left-leaning person so while we're talking about how much money Romney spends I feel I must ask why some people on the left, particularly the Keynesians, are annoyed about Romney spending so much of his money on nice stuff, while he's really just pumping his money into the economy?
