Gingrich On The Economy and Taxes


Gingrich believes, as most conservatives do, America is spending way too much and we should cut entitlement programs such as medicare, medicaid, and social security.

Moreover he would like to put an end to bureaucracies and replace them with business minded organizations for efficiency. He criticizes the government for not being able to track the money and spending.

He further believes we should cut taxes, especially for corporations, in an effort to help businesses expand and create jobs. He thinks that democrats and some republicans have become accustomed to thinking that tax money is theirs to spend for special projects. His position is to make major reform to the tax code that makes it simple, understandable and less bureaucratic.

Gingrich On ObamaCare


Gingrich calls the obamacare bill a centralized healthcare dictatorship and that we must repeal the bill because it is fundamentally a government takeover of American liberties to choose their own health care.

Gingrich On Gay Issues

Gingrich On Foreign Policy


Gingrich thinks that instead of relying on the international community for involvement is ridiculous because they don't have authority, when what we should be doing is relying on the American congress to make decisions on foreign policy.

In order to handle situations in a smart way is minimize military force and maximizing diplomacy and coalition power.
