Mitt Romney promised to lower tax rates but make up for the loss of revenue to the federal government by eliminating deductions and loopholes he has not specified.

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, the GOP platform committee has committed to retain the deductions for charitable donations but will not commit to retaining mortgage interest deduction. In 2008, they did commit to retaining mortgage interest deduction.

Would the Romney-Ryan team care to enlighten regarding their plans for the mortgage interest deduction ?
