Political Factoid
TV ads in 2012 for Republican
presidential candidate Newt
Gingrich falsely claimed:
- He cut government spending
during the four years (1995-1999)
when he was Speaker of the House.
(Spending actually went up 18%.)
- He generated record-breaking
surpluses.
(Most of the surpluses came after he
had been "nudged" out of office.)
