Well, there's theory and then there's practice. In practice, Gingrich was an elected official during the only time in recent history when we had budget surpluses. He played a large part in getting us there too, along with Clinton. So maybe he talks a good game when it comes to Reagan (aren't all GOP Presidential aspirants required by the GOP to pay homage to Reagan?), but when it comes to the facts on the ground, he is a fiscal conservative. So I'm all for fiscal conservatism and no bailouts.
