Don’t Kill The Goose

Why “Don’t Kill The Goose?”

For those of you unfamiliar with Aesop, here is a clue to where this phrase came from originally.

Where does the title of this site come from NOW? From me, of course! But I do have to tip my hat to Mr. Newt, who uses this theme far more articulately than I do, in a speech that can be found here on the net. He also has the Goose the Laid the Golden Egg YouTube Competition on his website. Here is the appropriate excerpt from his speech:

“Liberals don’t understand this,” Gingrich says. “We have this goose that lays the golden egg. It’s called the American economy. It’s entrepreneurs. It’s science and technology. It’s markets. It’s competition. It’s the most explosively powerful system in the world. We are dramatically bigger than China, we are dramatically bigger than India, we are dramatically bigger than Japan, we are dramatically more dynamic than Europe–and of course the answer from the left is, ‘But couldn’t we be more like France?’”

Ha ha ha ha!

” . . . You know, you too can have massive unemployment,” Gingrich says, his voice dripping with sarcasm. “We tried this under Jimmy Carter. We ended up at 22 percent interest rates, 13 percent inflation, the steepest recession since the Great Depression, and gasoline rationing so you could only buy gasoline every other day, depending on your license tag. But since nobody studies history nobody remembers that we tried all these things. They fail.”

Thanks, Newt!
