Former speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, who in his speeches and public appearances often parallel to today's struggle to overcome budget and spending issues that were flooded with Washington and the media headlines in recent weeks with the same battles he meets during his time in the mid-1990 24?0?s, issued this statement on his Facebook before the current debt deal headed to the House and the Senate early Monday evening.
From Gingrich's post:
To "avoid standard is not a solution to the United States's job and the debt crisis. This agreement merely set the stage for an enormous amount of work is progressing – over the next two years – about how to create jobs, reduce public spending, return to balanced budgets and pay off our debt.
If the final result of this settlement is an increase of tax and/or debilitative cuts in our investment in national security, it will be a destructive failure. With so much work that remains to be done, is this deal yet another reminder of the urgent need to replace President Obama and his radical commitment to big government and higher taxes.
As President, I will approach the problem solving United States's debt crisis by adhering to three principles:
Job creation must be job one. The most urgent challenge America's crisis of Obama depression. Any deficit reduction efforts must therefore be carried out within the framework of what most would return America to the robust and long-term economic growth and job creation. This means that raising taxes must be outside the table. Raising taxes in the current economic climate could permanently cripple the American economy. Tax revenues should be increased through economic growth, not by further burdening United States's job creators and kill more jobs.
Keep the policy of national security. United States national security budgets must be based on fact-based assessment of what is needed to protect Americans, not on arbitrary political considerations. Our enemies and competitors does not cease to be aggressive while we sort out our fiscal problems.
Reduce expenditures by reforming and restructuring the Government. Try to find enough savings in the context of our present bloated bureaucratic big government is impossible. Real, sustainable savings can only come from a thorough review of how Government works, including their mysterious civil service rules. We want a smaller but also much more modern and effective Government. For example, strong America now, under the direction of Michael George, believe that the 500 billion dollars per year can be saved by applying Lean Six Sigma to the Federal Government.
Gingrich has been heavily against Obama's economic policies and has criticized members of the left alignment of the same methods and practices of former President ronald Reagan, who dealt with a struggling economy early in his first term as President. Gingrich statement another earlier this week shot blasting the past economic growth numbers, which he considers to be "hallmark" of Obama's Depression.
