Public good? Supplied no doubt by such pinnacles of fair-minded 
success as the US Postal Service, Universities, Hospitals, and 
Soviet bureaucracy?

Vigor, if I wanted that I'd move to Russia. Course Russia's not doing 
so well of late. But never mind that little bobble; the "public good" 
will ultimately prevail.

I suspect Newt has rather different ideas. As do the U.S people, 
thank god.
