That’s right. According to Bloomberg (link via Talking Points Memo):
Even Newt Gingrich, the Republican former speaker of the House of Representatives and a supporter of private accounts, says, ``The combination of higher birth rates and more immigration makes the United States the healthiest of developed nations. This is not a crisis.''Zowie! Exactly how far to the right does one have to get before they make Newt Gingrich sound like a voice of friggin’ reason?
But don’t just take Newt’s word for it.
