Newt led Congress under the first balanced budget in a generation

No, he didn't. Came closer than anyone in awhile, but there was no balanced budget. They played games borrowing from SS, just as Newt criticized politicians for doing (during the Cain/Gingrich "debate", where he also lied about the balanced budget).

Comingling Social Security funds pre-dates Newt’s speakership. He was using the rules as they were in place at the time. Doesn’t mean he can’t support changing them.
