La,Somebody needs to have a spine and fight to cut Federal Spending. Newt did once. Attack him personally all you want, he cut spending and taxes, and the results included a budget surplus and a booming economy with 5% real unemployment and nobody whining about minimum wage. After 16 years of WO, we are "comfortable" with half a trillion dollar deficits and an 18 trillion dollar national debt.
Newt got the job done. That's why those who hate the United States hate Newt.
I urge you not to bleat on about numbers of which you clearly know nothing...
Clinton and Newt came an agreement on the budget in late summer of 1997......by which time the deficit which was the legacy of Supply Side Idiocy, Part One had been whittled down by more than 90%....
The unemployment rate number you reference is no less real today than it was then....In each case it is the headline, or U3, number.
Since the end of FY2009 (the last under Supply Side Idiocy, Part Deux) Federal spending has grown at its lowest rate since the 1950s.......
Newt is hated because he is a consummate douche.....
