I lived through Newt's "Contract with America". It was ugly the first time around.

Companies, not government, create jobs.

If an extension of tax cuts results in a deficit, then the spending is too high. Period.

What was so ugly about the Contract with America? It was only a promise of what issues to bring up for a vote in the first 100 days of the 1994 session of Congress.
