Newt!, by Dick Williams: on Free Trade

Newt Gingrich: Mutual trade: neither free trade nor protectionism

Gingrich offered a six-point prescription:
1. Base the welfare system on work
2. expand day care--private and public--to accommodate welfare mothers
3. make "mutual trade"--neither free trade nor protectionism--the country's goal
4. privatize many government services; starting with NASA
5. reform the Pentagon, with a move away from all-volunteer standing forces to more emphasis on reserves and the National Guard; and
6. curb cost-of-living increases in social programs such as Social Security.
