Gingrich Says He Doesn't Regret Supporting Medicare Drug Plan Which Is Now a $7.2 Trillion Unfunded Liability

[mlocher]

Former House Speaker New Gingrich (R-Ga.), a likely 2012 presidential candidate, told CNSNews.com today that he does not regret supporting the enactment of the Medicare prescription drug plan which now presents the federal government with a $7.2 trillion unfunded liability.

From the taxpayers pockets to the coffers of the drug companies, make possible by the Fed Govt.

Why is it all these Republican hopefuls are sounding so wishy washy? Same thing with the GOP leadership in congress, they ran on getting rid of Zer0care and now they seem to be backing off. The Tea Party members are seemingly being left to twist in the wind.

[Jim Robinson]

FUNG!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

New is Mitt Romney writ small.

[Slump Tester]

"... a likely 2012 presidential candidate..."

... a likely 2012 losing 2012 presidential candidate...

There, I fixed it. Go away Newt, you RINO!

Is this the President Bush must have prescription drug plan.....another 7 trillion on to the deficit. Wonderful. Now he is up to 12 trillion dollars that he alone put on the debt (he added 5 trillion during his presidency and he should get credit for this 7 trillion too).....of course that is only if this story is true. He sure did have his socialist ways.

[Reagan Man]

*FDR and the Dems gave us SocSec.
*LBJ and the Dems gave us Medicare.
*Bush and the GOP gave us govt drugs.
*Obama and the Dems gave us Obamacare.

Liberal socialism at its best. What’s next, Newt?

[Frantzie]

Did he mention Callista? He says her name about 40 times when Hannity interviews him for 5 minutes on the radio. I like Sean Hannity but he loves RINO scum.

[Joe Boucher]

He also sits on couches with Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton.
I wouldn’t go to the same building with either in it.
You are over newt,
Go find another younger sportier richer model there pal.
NO more RINOs.

Proof of the current republican leadership , they like spending just as much as the democrats. They were really happy during all of that lame duck spending. Hogs knee deep in slop.

[CheezyD]

I won’t regret not voting for the RINO Gingrich.

[New Jersey Realist]

I thought that it was law that Congress couldn’t pass a spending resolution without the revenue to support it.

Go away, Newt. You had your day. It started out great (Contract With America). But it didn’t end well.

[ExpatGator]

Just one more reason why I WILL NOT VOTE for this elitist Washington insider turd.

[therut]

should have never happened. There was no need. The poor elderly already got Medicaid to cover their meds. Now all those on Medicare no matter what their wealth get almost free medications. This was soooooooooooo stupid.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Yeah, Newt.

You should throw your hat in the ring for 2012.

Go back under your rock, Newt.

And you don’t have to worry about getting cold. All this gloBULL warming (AGW) you believe in will keep you nice and warm.

"Sorry Newt. Life's unfair sometimes. Medicare Part D got me re-elected! Must have been those 'Daily Dose of Dubya' threads!"
