Coral Gables, FL – Newt Gingrich released the following statement responding to President Obama’s State of the Union address:
We have a crisis of work in this country and tonight President Obama proposed nothing in the way of policy changes that will get us to robust job creation and dramatic economic growth.
Instead, the president described his conviction that his big government is built to last and should be paid for with higher taxes.
But bigger government and higher taxes will not lead to jobs and growth. Bigger government and higher taxes will instead lead to more people on food stamps, a situation which the President and his party defend as a fair outcome.
Here we have to confront the truth about President Obama. Economic growth and prosperity is not really at the top of his agenda. He will always prefer a food stamp economy to a paycheck economy and call it fair.
For the president and a large part of the political class, it’s about their power, their right to rule. They just want to take money from Joe the Plumber – the small business people who makes over 90 per cent of the new jobs -- and redistribute it to the government bureaucracy and their political friends and allies. That’s why so much of that nearly trillion-dollar stimulus didn’t create jobs but just went into the pockets of special interests who support President Obama and the leadership of the Democratic Party.
No better example of this exists than in the crisis of American energy. President Obama and his political allies – not of few of whom love living in energy inefficient houses or driving gas-guzzling luxury vehicles – openly admit they want gas prices to remain high so that the rest of America will learn to live more modestly. They think it’s good for rest of us. Only recently, the president canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline that would have created countless new jobs and helped America on the way to energy independence because he wanted to appease the far left of his party. And yet not a single word on the Keystone XL pipeline tonight.
To create jobs and growth in this country, we must start with dramatic tax reform that lowers taxes and maximizes capital investment and job creation. We must return to a dollar as good as gold whose purchasing power is the same in thirty years as it is today. We must dramatically expand American energy production. We must have smarter regulation at the same time we abolish destructive and costly regulatory systems beginning with Obamacare,Dodd-Franks, and Sarbanes-Oxley. And finally, unlike the current administration, we must have faith in job creators.
With these policies the state of the union will be much better. They will create an explosion in job creation and lead to robust economic growth and a return to prosperity. Furthermore, a paycheck economy will put us on a path to balanced budgets and paying down our national debt.
I just about vomited, Mitch Daniels’ response was so weak tonight.
Wish it would have been these words delivered with power and conviction.
If Zero can be beat, Newt will do it.
I remember a news conference shortly after the Republicans took back the House (first time in foty years). Newt was the architect.
I have never seen a room full of reporters so stunned and thrown off their game. LOL.
God grant it may happen again.
God Save the Republic!
TitansAFC has the Newt ping list.
Spend a little time at Newt.org reading and you will get all the details you want.
Newt (and every other candidate) continues to ignore the fact that we can not grow our way out of debt! In order to do that, we would need a long run of GDP growth over debt growth. We have never done that in the last 30 years.
Lowering taxes will increase the amount of money I have in my pocket, but the government will just borrow that amount and INCREASE the debt even more. In order to pay for everything from tax revenues only, taxes would need to increase by ~50% (reciepts now = ~2T, expenditures = ~3T) OR expenditures must decrease by 33% (or some combination thereof).
In one point I agree with the GOP Response to the SOTU - there really is only one issue. The GOP just doesn’t want to admit it (nor do the Dems).
They didn't learn that it is the tea party that holds keys to victory. The Elites still think they matter. They don't. I don't know if Newt scares them as much as they detest the voters that Newt attracts.
As Jim Robinson is fond of posting;
REBELLION IS BREWING!!
Wow!
He has personal bad feeling toward Newt and he should recluse himself from comments..
there was a time I respected Hume as one of the finest newsmen in the country, but after having heard and seen him the past month or so...He has lost all my respect.
We can grow our way out of debt. Such is the power of the American economic system.
It will require a return to sound principles of governance and economics-—including a lowering of taxes, not an increase.
There must be a draconian cut in spending as well.
Reagan showed us the power of the American economy unleashed and it can happen again.
God save the Republic.
Fox News has become infected.
How could any sane person argue with THAT!
funny that Newt has been attacking just that as the centerpiece of his campaign.
vaudine
From Newt Gingrich: “For the president and a large part of the political class, it’s about their power, their right to rule...and redistribute it to the government bureaucracy and their political friends and allies. That’s why so much of that nearly trillion-dollar stimulus didn’t create jobs but just went into the pockets of special interests...”
He knows what is happening.
Where does all that stimulus money go? Read:
“U.P.B – Urban Partnership Bank…just another community activist sounding entity. The kind that is so familiar to this administration. The name change was reported on…just not nearly to the degree that the “collapse” of Shorebank was. And so…Shorebank lives on – simply having changed its name.”
“How so? The money…the investments—”
“The investments were quickly assembled – and directly by the Obama administration. Look over the list of investors – that information is easily available to you as well. Institutions that had received tax payer funded bailouts were pushed to invest in the re-born version of Shorebank. That is what the bailout and the stimulus provided the federal government – the regulatory authority to tell these institutions what to do. And so they did. Hundreds of millions of dollars – bailout funds…the people’s money…hundreds of millions spent to prop Shorebank back onto its feet and continue on its way.”
“And the very same staff remained. The very same individuals who ran Shorebank and who worked so closely with Democrats and the globalization architects…those very same individuals now run U.P.B. Shorebank then did not collapse. She is the very same woman at the dance doing no more than wearing a different dress. And you, like so many others who pretend to pay attention…you were fooled.”
“And are you aware of the motto that was Shorebank – that is still the unspoken motto of U.P.B. ?”
“No.”
“Building an inclusive global financial system”

The problem with all those large media outlets is their owners: the huge multi-national conglomerates are more concerned with the world at large, globalism, so they’re really not interested in allowing Americans to freely choose who heads up the government here.
Newt Gingrich has done no such thing. You were a constant Palin basher, too. Exactly who is it that you are supporting for president?
lol
All the gold in the world is only worth around $15 trillion or so.
Not enough to back our debt, much less our annual gdp.
Brit, Bret, Bret, Brit..yes, Brit Hume has changed, more of his own opinion than when he sat on the other side of the table?? Newt is coming and they just don’t like it!!!!
GO NEWT 2012

Great suggestions.
