Gingrich: Three Priorities for GOP House

Newt Gingrich highlights what the GOP controlled House of Representatives should be focusing on in the upcoming session:

1. Creating jobs to get paychecks in people’s hands.

2. Repealing Obamacare and replacing it with an individually-centered, market-oriented approach to reform.

3. Replacing bad, centralized, bureaucratic government with smaller, more effective solutions that focus on flexibility, localism, citizen engagement, new technological opportunities, and performance outcomes.

These three priorities will then pave the way for a balanced budget and a return to fiscal responsibility.

Newt continues:

Three themes can lead us to a balanced budget and a smaller, more effective, modern, and citizen-centered government.

First, we can reassert the Tenth Amendment as a guiding force in returning power "to the states and the people thereof." Governor Rick Perry of Texas is leading this effort, which enables House Republicans to substantially shrink the federal bureaucracy and budget while getting more done at the state and local levels - all with less red tape, less lost time and more usable resources.


Second, we can learn from private businesses to modernize government. IBM and other high tech companies estimate $1 trillion could be saved over ten years (about $2.6 trillion over 20) simply by bringing the bureaucracies up to modern management and information standards. (Most state and local governments could affect comparable savings.)


Third, we can fundamentally rethink failing systems with a replacement approach rather than a repair approach.
