Romney to flood victim: "Go home and call 211" (Which I'll get rid of if I become President)

You really can't make this shit up!

Mitt Romney To Flood Victim: 'Go Home And Call 211'

Chiarello said she told Romney, "I lost everything" and that the presidential contender advised her on how to get assistance. "He said that he was going to do the best that he could for us," she said.

"He just told me to, um, there's assistance out there," Chiarello said of her conversation with Romney. "He said, go home and call 211." That's a public service number offered in many states.

Mitt Romney In GOP Debate: Shut Down Federal Disaster Agency, Send Responsibility To The States

The Washington Post's Greg Sargent adds: "There’s another nugget here worth highlighting, though. In that appearance, Romney also suggested it would be 'even better' to send any and all responsibilities of the federal government 'to the private sector,' disaster response included. So: Romney essentially favored privatizing disaster response."
