Newt Gingrich Is Back. Lock The Refrigerator.

Ya know, I've read a couple of history novels about the Civil War that Newt Gingrich has co-written. If you don't know who Newt Gingrich is, he was once the Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives and came up with the GOP's "Contract with America". He's a history professor in real life. I don't know how good he is, but his books aren't too bad. In fact I enjoyed them. Having said that, I must tell you he's not real good for America. For instance, he's very much in favor of keeping the Bush tax cuts for multi-millionaires at a cost to American taxpayers of something like 800 billion $$$, but he's against food stamps for the poor that generates $9 for every $5 in stamps. So in Newt's mind a whopping net loss to the American economy is good, but an economic generator is bad. Does that make sense to you? Maybe it was that kind of thinking that got rid of him before. Well actually it had more to do with infidelity then his lack of economic acumen. Anyway, he's trying to give advise to the Republican candidates this year. Can you imagine? If you're a Democrat, that might be a little good news. But whether you're a Republican or a Democrat, don't start thinking like Newt. We've got enough problems in America right now. Maybe he should go back to teaching. At a very small college. At a very small wage. He could then cut out his own food stamps. No, that won't work. He's in the 2% of income earners he's trying to protect.
