Gingrich has been supportive of an individual mandate since the 90s. He has always believed that everyone should pay for part of their own health care costs and the individual mandate is the only way to do it. Ryan’s plan is DOA and everyone knows it. Gingrich has always thought he had a practical solution to the health care crisis.
Is that where the money is going?....to health care?
I don’t think Newt’s heart is in it. I believe he was under a lot of pressure to run and who wouldn’t like to be President but getting there is a beach.
I hate to knock Ryan’s plan because nobody else has come up with anything decent. He gets a “A” for effort but that plan is not going to save our country and as you so aptly pointed out its DOA in the Senate.
The size of government has increased 32% in the past 2 years. It needs to be shrunk 32% by next year and then another 30%-40% after that. The only way to do it is to just say no to the debt ceiling. Thats not going to happen.
The train is chugging on down the tracks and picking up speed. The GOP elites are selecting our next RINO president for us as we speak. Unless Cain or Bachmann or maybe Palin can somehow get the nomination we will all be told to hold our nose one more time and vote for a McCain like big government globalist Republican. I don’t know about the rest of you but we are not going to go down that road again and neither is anyone else we know.
One of my friends made the comment today that maybe we just have to have the collapse and then try to restore the Republic afterward. Maybe so.
