Tell me you DO know you're making this shit up, right? Do you know anything about Newt's accomplishments as Speaker? I can forgive a 22 year old skull full of mush, IF he acknowledges his ignorance...
I get that Newt is the man and all but it cracks me up watching people say crap like ‘Newt is great and had accomplishments’.Just be quiet as it is impossible to put compound W on the warts when everyone knows they are there.
I’ve not updated my profile in many years, but I am 31. I’ve been following politics since I was 14. I’ve gone back and examined Newt’s record and double-checked my recollections. This man broke spending caps. The budget was balanced, largely because the economy exploded as a result of the dotcom boom, Newt did not trim spending:

There was a Conservative revolt in 1997 and he was tossed out on his air because Republicans were angry at him for spending too much money. He’s a great talk show guest, a great revolutionary, but a lousy leader.
