GINGRICH: Well, I don't know. I think the biggest thing that separates us is the degree to which I'm prepared to make a very, very large change, whether it's a national energy policy designed to drive the price of gasoline down below $2.50 a gallon, and to make sure that no future president bows to a Saudi king, or there's a personal Social Security savings account for young people, so they can have a buildup of money they control, that they're in charge of, that no politician can touch; or it's going to zero capital gains [tax] and 100% expensing for all new equipment, so you really have a dramatic rebirth of the American economy. There are a number of areas where I think I'm probably much bolder than Senator Santorum, but in a sense, we both represent a much more conservative wing of the [Republican] Party than does Governor Romney, who represents a kind of northeastern moderatism.

Worth posting again!

Godspeed Newt.

Newt is right on Soc Sec and the Galveston plan. Santorum is wrong. Why shouldn't younger workers have the right to invest a portion of THEIR OWN MONEY into an alternate stock or bond rather than have the "untrustworthy" govt have control?

What has the govt controlled that has been sucessful? besides their own pensions?
