Romney has said in interviews that he agrees with President Bush's plan to provide the Federal Housing Administration the power to help some homeowners get their mortgages refinanced at level rates. He said the Federal Reserve's actions will allow continued activity in the credit markets and keep the subprime mortgage problems from expanding to hurt more of the economy.
Romney's Web site is silent on the mortgage crisis and he has not spoken extensively on the subject.
In a related matter, TheStreet.com's Brett Arends wrote that Romney took a personal financial hit from the mortgage crisis, of at least $1 million, through his investment in Goldman Sachs Global Equity Opportunities fund.
