As Senate speculation grows, Romney won't say if he plans to run

Source: CNN

Mitt Romney refused to say anything about his plans to run for the US Senate during an appearance before the Salt Lake City Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, but he offered hints about what his agenda might be in Washington.

In a speech centered on economic policy, Romney outlined his concerns about the failure to address entitlement reform to curb the nation's debt, global warming, education and inter-generational poverty. Using charts and graphs, he focused at length on the declining opportunities and lack of wage growth for less educated workers -- the voters who powered President Donald Trump's bid for the White House.

"Those who have less than high school or high school only have seen a deteriorating economic circumstance -- that leads to greater and greater income disparity, wealth disparity within the population, a lot of resentment, anger and finger-pointing," he said. "It's just not fair. Not good. Everyone in America has an equal value under the eyes of our creator."

sons claimed that he did not want to be president last time he ran. Didn't they claim that Mrs. Rmoneys health was too fragile for a bid to be 1st. "lady"?
