How long before "President" Romney asks taxpayers to buy him a $100m yacht?

New royal yacht proposal backed by David Cameron
Prime minister throws weight behind £60m-project despite protests that taxpayers should not have to foot the bill

David Cameron has swung behind plans for a new, privately funded royal yacht that will double up as a university of the seas, and provide accommodation for royalty in the ship's stern. Cameron has endorsed the idea after lobbying from the higher education minister David Willetts and the education secretary Michael Gove. The idea, at one point described by Gove as a gift from the nation to the Queen on her diamond jubilee, also has the backing of the Prince of Wales and Princess Anne, according to letters sent to the prime minister by Willetts. Downing Street sources said the prime minister regarded the idea as excellent, and discussions have been held with Portsmouth city council for the yacht to be berthed in the south coast port.

5. Britain's talking austerity and the PM wants a yacht?

Imagine the shady deals that will be struck far away from cameras and prying eyes...

6. Well gee whiz, why not?

If he becomes President, Mitt will be living in government housing on a fixed income. A yacht is the least taxpayers could do for him!
