Oh, "under Obama's ideology." I see. Why bother basing it on fact when you have blind conjecture?

GINGRICH: We have no proof today, but I would say to you under Obama’s ideology it is absolutely true that he would be comfortable sending a lot of people checks for doing nothing. I believe that totally.Yes. That's what you're SUPPOSED to do when YOUR economy is not providing them with jobs. They are not doing nothing, they are living and eating and breathing and metabolizing and growing and learning and doing it all while BEING HUMAN PEOPLE and YES, they deserve access to enough assistance to survive and hopefully thrive on when they have no real options for earning as much themselves
