I wonder how GOP voters expect Newt to lower taxes and "reduce government spending to meet revenue," while he openly admits in the debates to being proud of programs such as Medicare Part D, being for government-set housing policy like Freddie Mac/Fannie Mae, and wanting to establish a permanent base on the Moon. Just the Moon base would cost tens of billions if not hundreds of billions of dollars a year. Medicare Part D already costs $50bn per year, while HUD costs another $50bn/year. Of course, he won't cut any security spending, which is about 60% of discretionary spending and it would be politically impossible to cut mandatory spending immediately (you could only reform it for the long-run).
