WTF are you talking about?
Newt gave us a majority for the first time in 60 years which led to The Contract with America, which led The Balanced Budget Act, Which led to Welfare Reform, Which was capped off with a Reduction in Capital Gains Tax, which resulted in buckets of Capital infused into the economy and led to more people working at higher wages than ever before.
The only thing Newt did was let Clintontake credit because it didn’t really matter to him if Clinton wanted to co-opt his key legislation.
Only thing that was important is what was right for the country and if that meant Clinton could feel good about himself, however synthetic, then he could take credit all day long and we got more done as a result.
He was an ass back then, and he is still an ass today.
Will the “American Spring” happen this year or next?
I'm betting on next year.
