Election 2012

Newt Gingrich Confirms the Truth

My column yesterday focused on the the most recent Romney gaffe in which he criticizing the president for wanting to hire more teachers, police officers and firefighters. One of my main points was to illustrate that Republicans are against this -- they just don't often say it out loud.

Newt Gingrich confirmed my theory.

KING: The president says use federal dollars to help. Governor Romney says no. [...]

GINGRICH: We have to come to grips with how big the challenge is, and does that mean there will be fewer teachers? The honest answer is yes.

Thanks, Mr. Speaker.
