I am not giving up until Mr. Newt gives up! I can't, America's future is at stake and we simply cannot leave this to the establishment's choice for us. Santorum did well last night, but he simply is second string. WE THE PEOPLE need Mr. Newt this time around. I was quite discouraged last night as I know many here were. I listened again to Newt Gingrich and the Republican Revolution

Then, I watched Sarah Palin in The Undefeated for the 10th time, and I am back in the fight!

Me too. I’m a Newt delegate to the State Convention in Colorado (unbound). Watching the returns roll in, I was getting discouraged and thinking it might be time to flirt with other options.....and then Newt stepped to the podium.
Men with that level of ability to articulate an argument come once in a generation. When I watch Rick or Mitt, I often agree with what they are saying, but they are like intellectual little leaguers compared to Newt, sputtering and stammering as they push half-formed ideas out into the air. Good ideas perhaps, but poorly supported, and awkwardly formed. Not calculated to cut through the clutter and clouds of journalistic disinformation.
Notice that it’s Newt that Obama and his Carney feel compelled to respond to. Not Mitt, Not Rick. It’s Newt. He knows how to fashion and drive home the argument.
So for now, I’m sticking with the Articulate One.

Well, Newt appears to be the best candidate in the running, IMO, but the debt should be paid by way of many cuts against spending—especially federal funding to local governments for anti-family programs, regulations, government education, etc.

During a debate Ron Paul said that Newt paid down the debt or balanced the budget by taking money from the social security money. Nobody knows if this is true or not. I know Ron Paul is a kook, but he is very keen on financial stuff.

I heard Newt talk about this a little bit on Greta’s show tonight. Here, he goes into a lot more detail. Worth the read!

When I was Speaker, we balanced the budget for four straight years, resulting in real surpluses and paying down the national debt by $400 billion. This is inaccurate. We have deficit spent every year for the last 50 years ...

The National Debt will not be paid off. PERIOD.
There has never been a year where we have run a budget surplus bigger than 300 billion. If we had one bigger than that, lets say 500 billion and ran a 500 billion dollar surplus for 20 CONSECUTIVE YEARS we still wouldn’t pay it off.. .... it’d have to be 30 Consecutive years of 500 billion dollar surplus’.
Of course of they increase inflation by ten fold....then yeah. But that would destroy the USA so that won’t happen ....right?

The problem is that the money system which was set up in 1913 uses federal debt as a main basis for money.
The idea originated with Alexander Hamilton and involved both a central bank (the fed) and an income tax to pay interest on federal debt, the idea was to simply roll the principle over forever. The system was fragile at best and a time bomb with a hundred year fuse at worst. Minus Barrack Obama waltzing and spending 4T with nothing to show for it, we'd have had another 15 - 20 years to try to figure out what to do about the problem, but Obama has eliminated that sort of cushion, and we need to get rid of the 1913 money system pretty soon as things stand now. Best thinking I've seen on the net as to what all is involved is:

Again the problem is that under present rules the govt. has no way to increase the nation's money supply OTHER than deficit spending.
