The Honorable Newt Gingrich

3110 Maple Drive

Atlanta, GA 30305-2650

Dear Speaker Gingrich:

I have seen you refer to the privatized Social Security system in Chile several times as a model for the United States. I believe that you would not hold this view if you were more aware of the details of the Chilean system.

1. SO Newt wants to keep us from becoming Eurpoe by turning us into Chile??

2. Maybe He Wants us to be "chili" (LOL)

I call these guys: 2 Dicks with a Newt in a Mitt! But, I forgot about Ron Paul! And with his son in the House now, he could sneak up from behind the 2 Dicks! Well, after Santorum said today that females in Combat would make the men protect them rather than do their job! What a flake! He's obviously never served, as a retiree and a female..it isn't that way at all! Maybe instead of making kids and going to college he should've served his Country!! Gingrich got a big bite of cash for filing to help the Federal Housing Corps (Freddie and Fannie); so the writing is on the wall...Chilean! Look what happened to USPS by privitizing. Of course it took 30 years, but it's happening!!
