It’s not just Newt, they’ve been having problems all night.

Cain’s going in and out.

Didn't disagree with what Newt says. Asked for 3 minutes to add historical perspective from his business experience.

Long term gov't projections about cost have never been right.

It’s a shame they have to hold the portable mike while speaking.

Herman Cain up. Says he does not disagree with Newt. Gets applause. Cain’s mike on nhis tie seems to work.

Giving historical perspective of Medicare.Costs projections for Medicare off by 900% by 1990 from what was forecast.

Says gov’t forecasts have never been right.

Cain says get the spending out of DC into the hands of the peope.

Politicians have overpromised for decades—we are headed off a cliff.
