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..
Just like I didn't for the Obama Pie in the Sky nonsense he pushed in 2008, or the for the ‘Green energy will save us’ nonsense Newt pushed a few years ago with his friend Pelosi. Wasn't Green energy claimed to be a national security issue too back then? That didn't make it work either.
