Yes, the private sector. How conservative sounding. Well lets see. Given the US cant put a man in orbit how much would it cost the private sector to build a manned moon base? $100B?? $500B? $1000B?
There is something funny about the private sector that Newt doesn't understand because he worked with government projects all his life. They don't invest money unless there is good chance they will make even more back. Newt never had to worry about that. His government enterprises like Ethanol never had to make money/
This non-sense is much like Newts sales pitch for green energy as a Ethanol contractor. Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.
By that measure the only candidate in the race who has true private sector experience is Ron Paul when he set up his medical practice.
After leaving Congress, Newt built and managed 9 or 10 small business, which means he met payroll, dealt with regulations, and saw up close how government hamstringed the small entrepreneur. In fact, in the one on one debate with Herman Cain, a noted businessman himself, Newt said seeing up close how government impeded the private sector, was the major thing he learned after leaving congress, and becoming part of Main Street.
And you never did address the documented national security concerns re moon habitation and bases for military purposes. Newt has the vision to look down the road, it appears you don't. Santorum, right?

p.s. Newt estimated the cost at 500B and said investors would jump at the chance to be at the vanguard of a new frontier... once they assessed all the ins outs benefits risks... It's called vision, cutting edge, courage, big ideas, new frontiers - the same attributes that made America great..

Ethanol was a disaster!
