When was Newt President?

When was Newt President?

He wasn't, which is why his Congress balanced the budget.

He would had made a good President though.

When was Newt President?

Clinton could only sign bills. Gingrich was the Speaker and the House is in charge of the money. It was Gingrich who balanced the budget for four straight years. You can give Clinton credit for recognizing if he stuck to the Left instead of the center he wouldn't be reelected. And thus he did sign welfare reform into law. Newt's doing, not Clinton's.

Make a 1% VAT tax on everything and use that money to help pay down the national debt

There's a big underground economy that the government isn't getting any tax revenue from.

Trouble is, it is not enough. Congress will add the tax, keep raising it, spend more. Any VAT will punish economic activity.

That’s a separate argument from corporate expenses being too high.
You said “cut jobs”….thats one way to lower expenses.
Why pay someone $171,000 a year to operate a machine when it can be done outside the US for a fraction of that?

So the present budget mess is the fault of the House Republicans? Good to know at election time.
