He's sure taking credit for the balance, seems he should get credit for how it was done. Ron voted against raiding SS, of course. Also, Gingrich is pretending he can solve SS painlessly while at the same time creating new government program solutions to all of life's ills, In other words, he shows no way to pay for his solutions to SS and medicare. The fact that he voted to raid it to keep spending elsewhere and pretend the budget was 'balanced' seems relevant to me, if true (and I strongly suspect it is.) I'm not sure what year that was to check. Does anyone know?
