The government hires consultants all the time from ex military to engineers to contractors to Boeing. Newt had 3 companies in 3 states. He had a staff of 30 or so employees. He had overhead to maintain the offices, staff to pay...what he made over a period of years is chump change at best in comparison to what most govt consultants make. BTW...what Newt did was free enterprise...why the attacks on him and why give Romney a pass? Romney took govt money to help with his socialized medicine in MASS too...the first implimentation of ObamaRomaCare happened in the state of MASS under Romneys leadership. He is a socialist...period. NO ROMNEY!
Only a difference in degree. It's still wrong to be like Tom Daschle and use your previous position for personal gain, especially from the gov't.
Newtie is part of the Teat Party.
