I like Newt Gingrich, reallly, I do. He made a contract with America that truly kept the lid on spending in the 1990s, for which others are given credit, but Newt was the driving force.
Unfortunately, Bloomberg is reporting Newt was hired by Freddie Mac to change the Conservative attitude toward their history of bad loans. There's an article at this link. If you want Newt, and he gets nominated, we need to let him know the people of the United States must not be used as a piggy bank as we've been used by a number of spendthrift Congresses who can't say no to any bridge to nowhere, it seems.
Our taxes are through the roof locally and nationally. I hope we can run an efficient government but not throw people's good money after bad.
As near as I can tell, they DID pay him to be a consultant, and then proceeded to not do a single thing that he advised them to do. So he can't be blamed for the bad actions they actually took if none of them were part of his advice.
That's Newt's story, anyway. And why question Newt? After all, he's always been so honest and above board.![]()
Accusations against a man who hasn't broken the law from someone who routinely defends people who smash the law to bits mean nothing to me. But listening to you try to claim some sort of moral high ground does afford me a few minutes of amusement.
