When you compare it to the Presidential terms from Reagan on, this is the lowest rate of spending growth over the last 30 years. Under Reagan, spending grew an average of 7.6% a year. Under George H.W. Bush, 6.7%. Under Clinton, 3.3% (it would have been much more if he got his single payor health care plan through, also he was restrained by Newt later). Under W., it as 6.6% and under Obama, a whopping 8.6% a year. Also, under Newt, Federal spending as a % of GDP fell from 21% to 18.5%, a whopping decline in 4 short years.”
Good solid information.In addition, the meat ax taken to the welfare state should be mentioned, saving us untold TRILLIONS if we continued down that path.
Newt is never criticized for his achievement in office, but for his affairs, peccadilloes and rampant capitalist pig behavior making money for his firm(s) after the fact, even though he has never been found guilty of breaking or even denting any laws or stautes. Even his bogus charges in the House were dismissed one by one, the last and only one that earned hm the censure, being dismissed by the IRS after the fact...
Of course, I can see why people wouldn’t want him in office...we no longer have problems cutting entitlements, run away deficits or over spending. Why put a race car driver in the 88 car when we can get a NY cabbie with a hack license?
