I had a different impression of it, I thought Santorum said the guy had a big idea every minute and didn’t get anything accomplished. I lived through it at the time, the Contract For America or whatever it was that was the big idea that never got followed through on.
How quickly we forget the outcome of Contract with America...
...a great idea!!.....and how many of those contracts were broken..
..it started out strong, full of hope....and much of it fizzled..
The Contract with America DID get followed through on. The idea was to get a vote on all those issues within 100 days (I think it was 100 days.)
Those votes took place.
The crucial ones won and went forward. That is why there was welfare reform, tax cuts, paid down debt, and balanced budgets.
