CPAC 2012: Newt Gingrich hits the reset button.

No one can say they don’t know what Newt Gingrich will do after his inauguration. He’s got big plans…

He pledged to have a full list of his proposed executive orders and presidential findings published online by October, so that every voter will know exactly what they’re getting. He wants every Republican candidate to campaign with him on a pledge to hit the next Congress in a monster jam session that repeals the job-killing centralized corruption of ObamaCare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley by the time he’s sworn in…

Within two hours of plopping his Dilbert calendar and family photographs on the Resolute Desk, he’ll have signed an executive order to cashier every one of the Obama czars. Then he’ll sign one to approve the oil pipeline from Canada to Houston. By lunch, he’ll have moved the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. Next up would be re-instituting Ronald Reagan’s Mexico City policy, to forbid spending money to subsidize abortion overseas…

By the time ex-President Obama “lands in Chicago,” he aims to have repealed “40 percent of Obama’s government.”

Here’s another paper, worth reading:

“Let’s consider that America needs major surgery, and I’m not even certain that that will save it. But I’m pretty certain there will be calamity and/or great dysfunction without it. Now if you or a loved one were in such a dire condition, are you going to look for an impeccable personal life (there aren’t any by the way) or are you going to look for a skilled and experienced surgeon? NO other candidate has Gingrich’s experience and skill with change in government, and none have his awareness of American history and what is required to restore it. Only Gingrich has proposed the necessary changes in our tax and entitlement systems.

And only he looks over contemporary legal conventions and proposes that judicial authority is out of historical balance. We conservatives have long complained of presumptuous judicial activism. We shouldn’t continue to hang our hopes on filling the judiciary with more modest judges. The executive and legislative branches must hold the judiciary to constitutional account. It is not an infallible oligarchy. We know that. Our representatives should act on it. Gingrich has the support of Ronald Reagan’s conservative talk-show host son Michael, Reagan’s economic advisor Arthur Laffer, the brilliant conservative economist and social theorist Thomas Sowell, former Senator and presidential candidate Fred Thompson, J.C. Watts and Bill McCollum who served under Gingrich’s Speakership in The House, former candidates TX Governor Rick Perry and Businessman Herman Cain, and pollster and Republican strategist Kelly Anne Conway. The condition of the patient is dire. That’s why I support Gingrich without hesitation.”

Thank you. Very good read, the entire article.

I like and trust the good thinkers who like and trust Newt.

...not to mention Colonel Oliver North and many others.

Onward and Upward!

GO NEWT!!!

so then what happens to people like you?

Good question. Some become burgher flippers, one guy I know went to the Post Office, during the Clinton cuts period. He's a retired AF reserve Lt. Col., one of the few intell guys in my unit that were intell on active duty as well as in the reserves. He's been stationed in Thailand during the Southeast Asia War Games.

But in my case, my wife has tenure, but she doesn't make as much as I did. She wanted to retire a little early to get us established in San Antonio, where we'd hoped to retire, and where I expected to be transferred back to after we lost our Army contract. Now she's looking at working until she's at least 67, maybe 68. I'll probably have to start drawing on my retirement, since I'm old enough to do that. But it will mean starting Social Security early, which means I'll get less. Neither of my corporate retirement funds are worth much either, in the first case because it's based on the High 3 years, which were when I making less than 2/3 what I was making at the job I just got laid off from, plus I only worked there 21+ years. the second was a defined contribution plan, but I only worked there just under 12 years. 5 more would have helped a lot. What would have helped even more was not having to maintain two households after the Clinton-sizing.

I might end with a total as much or almost as much as I'm now getting in unemployment

I'm appalled at how little SS will be, after having paid in since 1968, and full time since 1973, except for 18 months when I was grad school, learning the things I needed to know to design those force protection/enemy whacking things. :) I knew it was scam/Ponzi scheme, but I didn't' realize how bad it really was.

Be lucky to break even when we sell the second house, which was needed because of having to live apart after that first layoff. But at least that means I'll get the down payment back, and maybe a little extra to put into our other house, which is bigger but much older and somewhat run down, since the "fixer" hasn't lived there for 13+ years.
