Think Progress » Gingrich gripes that Obama doesn’t have an ambassador to Brazil yet (because he’s being blocked by DeMint).
This brings me to my question for this thread. Should DeMint lift the hold on these nominations so the United States can have an ambassador to Brazil?
If you want to live in the most productive, creative, and prosperous nation in the world, what is it you have to do? Gingrich asked. The answer is to reform litigation, regulation, taxation, health, education, and infrastructure.
Bureaucracies just dont work, he said. When you build a bureaucracy, the bureaucracy ages, and the bureaucracy develops self-interest. We still dont have an ambassador to Brazil, for example, eight months into the new administration.
The South Carolina senator has said that he will not lift the hold on these nominations until the United States works out an arrangement with the Honduran government to recognize the outcome of the elections in Honduras and restores the U.S. foreign aid that has been cut by the Obama administration.
