For those who pay attention to such things, it was Newt's lobbying and behind the scenes initiative to promote and get Republicans to sign on to the new entitlement. He's the #1 reason it was enacted.

Personally, I don't object to prescription drug coverage in Medicare, just to adding in a budget-busting new entitlement without cutting anywhere else.

So you are blaming Newt for Part D when Newt was not even in government at the time? I was afraid that was what you goofballs were up to. Sorry, no sale. We had enough gop Congressmen and an idiot president to blame for mucking it up and who didn't need Newt's help.
