Newt Gingrich Is The "Steve Jobs Of Innovative Thinking" Applied to Government!!

Pretty amazing. I woke up this morning & my brain was 50 years forward in applying thought to government, systems, processes, etc.  All from simply watching the video of the debate between Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain, (to which I provide a link at the bottom of this blog) on American Entitlement Programs and how to better approach them.  All from just listening to Newt Gingrich explain what everybody else has been "missing" in government & application of & within government. Gingrich is definitely innovative. He uses Steve Jobs type thought processes.

Think about it. It takes about 6-9 months to get a government passport. Yet, the places you go to use that passport, other countries. You can stick your ATM card in a machine in Italy. It reads your number, sends the information across 6 or 7 country borders, across the Atlantic Ocean to your bank makes the information transaction, sends the approval information back across the Atlantic Ocean, back across about 6 or 7 country borders & spits out the proper amount of money you requested. Done.

The process needed to be used to apply, create & approve a passport is about the same as applying for a credit card in concept. Taking your information, doing a background check, reviewing your credit history & current & historical financial information, etc. Then sending you an approval. It's the same type system that creates your passport. All of you criminal records, addresses, any associations with people that might not allow you to get a passport is already in government database. What takes so long in the process is the human laden multi-levels of bureaucracy. What makes government so ineffective & inefficient is the incredible daunting level of people in the process. That's human factor where the failure, mistakes, lost information, improperly entered information, human bias, etc. that slows down a process & makes it less efficient & effective & creates so much financial waste while producing miniscule effectiveness.

Gingrich totally makes sense, "We have the technology available, why aren't we using it?" The Visa Corporation has .03% fraud in it's systems, because it uses IBM technology that identifies fraud, blocks it & eliminates it. Yet, the government's own system approaches has a 10% fraud factor. $10 out of every $100 in medicare goes to a fraudulent criminal, that's. That's 3 pennies of fraud at Visa, versus $10 of fraud in government. Our current government approach to this 10% of every dollar lost to fraud is, "We we need more money, so we have to raise your taxes." Meaning you as the tax payer have to make personal financial sacrifice in your life because the government charges you for the cost of the fraud to them.

Gingrich's approach is, "We've started using fraud identifying & eliminating technology to manage our Medicare payments increasing our government funds by 10%, formerly lost to fraud. So we are going to give you back money to better your own life." We all benefit, the only person that loses are the thieves in the Medicare system. It reduces the time & costs of current government bureaucratic expense in the Medicare system. Eliminates all the human links in the chain of bureaucracy that bogs down the system, loses information, improperly processes information, etc.

Apply the same logic to an agency like the I. R. S. An incredible government expense. Yet, it's an agency of that processes pure numbers. All things that can be done more time efficiently & cost efficiently & eliminating the cost & citizen hassle huge human mistakes factor. The greatest cost of government bureaucracy is the labor cost factor. Salaries, benefits, retirements, lost time & cost efficiency to illness, slackers, inefficiency & accuracy at their purpose in function in the human chain of government bureaucracy.

It's easy to see how during his tenure as Speaker Of The House, Gingrich put $5 TRILLION back into the government coffers by reducing the government budget by $3 TRILLION of wasteful expenses & leaving behind a $2 TRILLION budget surplus when he left office.

It's all about changing the way government thinks to accomplish the exact same things & meet the exact same needs of the people. As Gingrich states, "The most difficult thing to get people in Washington to do is THINK."

Once you get in the Newt Gingrich mindset of "thinking" applied to government. All the problems that we are told are so hard to find solutions for in our government and by our government simply ridiculously easy to find in the solutions to those problems.

I encourage you to doe a little intellectual exercise yourself to see what I'm talking about. I've been doing it all morning and am amazed at how simple it is. The only thing that separates your or me from being able to find the answers to solutions our government can seem to find is "THINKING!"

Let's look at situations like classified information being stolen, in our military technology, national security information, etc., etc. Things we've had government employees with high security clearances printing and selling to foreign nations. Undermining our technological advancement in the world and undermining our national security. There are thousands of government laptop computers possessing these informations that our government doesn't even know where those computers are!!!!

How do you eliminate those America damaging current failing government issues? You simply employ an information system where the information cannot be saved nor printed by an individual government computer. A system where the information can only be accessed, when it is necessary to perform a government task. You have laptops for tablets owned by the government with GPS tracking systems. Under that type of system you know there are no employees printing and selling national and technological government owned information. Because, they can't print it on paper nor save it to their computer or tablet. The only way they could sell that information is to be sitting side by side with some government person from China, etc. wanting to steal our information. The Chinese government and technologies thief having to sit down and manually reproduce the info. BUT, you just have your system set up to where if one of the government owned laptops/tablets accesses the central database servers and it's coming in on a feed from countries (which the system recognizes through the computer/laptops GPS coordinates in location) we know steal our technology the system automatically blocks access to the information.

Even something as unbelievably stupid as the Fast & Furious scandal under Obama's Department of Justice. Where they told gun dealers to sell thousands of guns to people the government knew were Mexican drug cartels who use those guns to kill American border agents and slaughter thousands of American systems.

It's unbelievable they allowed that in the first place. BUT, accepting the stupidity of our government in doing that as a way to track guns to find out where they end up. Through an advanced government approach in thinking, "When we find a bunch of dead bodies with guns laying around them, we can check the serial numbers to see where the guns came from that we allowed to be sold to murderers." That's our current government thinking. HOW ABOUT PUTTING GPS TRACKING DEVICES IN THE STOCKS OF THE GUNS!!! SO YOU CAN ROUND UP THE DRUG CARTELS IN THEIR GPS IDENTIFIED LOCATIONS BEFORE THEY KILL THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THEM!!

Newt's the man. He's our desperately needed President at this time in our history. The person we need running this country. In the debate you see that both Newt Gingrich and Herman Cain are both on the same wavelength in what needs to be done to save and redeem America from it's verge of total collapse. But, the difference between Gingrich and Cain is that Gingrich's thought processes are more advanced in the areas they share the same wavelength. Where Herman Cain can tell your philosophically what we need to do and where we need to do it. Newt Gingrich can tell you the same things but take it to the next level. What Herman Cain cannot tell you that Newt Gingrich can is exactly how you do it all the way down to the specific nuts and bolts.

Which is why I've been saying for over a month now. We need to put Gingrich in candidate position of President and Cain in candidate position of Vice President. This gives us the best possible option we could ever hope for in a president in this time in or nation's history. While Cain spends 4 or 8 years mentoring under Gingrich to advance his right direction thinking into his own nuts and bolts specific understanding in the most effective and efficient way to run our country. Gingrich will make so much overwhelming positive reform in government effectiveness an efficiency to positively effect our quality-of-life that even those on the opposite side of ideology will find it hard to not appreciate what America will have become under Gingrich's tenure as President. Which will set things up for Gingrich to easily simply pass the torch to Cain for another four to eight years.

Hell, my son is going to be 20 years old. When he was born we gave him a name. When the government recorded his name in the government system. They made a typo in his name, totally changing his legal name. I spent FIVE years going through all the different agencies trying to get them to correct their typo in his name which is Colby, but the person who entered it into the system used a "D" instead of a "C", Dolby. I started with the Social Security Administration they told me they didn't have the authority to fix THEIR mistake, then they sent me to some other agency which sent me to another agency, which sent me to another agency, which sent me back to the Social Security system. I spent FIVE years going back & forth between all these different "can't make a simple alphabet change" agencies & was never able to accomplish the task of having my son's name corrected to his actual name in the government system.

Now, take a Gingrich approach. I would enter his name in the system, get a chance to confirm information is correct & correct it if I made a mistake. DONE! DONE RIGHT!

Newt Gingrich: "I just put on the table trillions of dollars that would be saved by not paying crooks. Why is it so hard to not penalize good people before you stop paying crooks. You can take existing IBM technology and use it to stop paying crooks.

Why is it so hard to say you can turn this around and pass a bill to contract out to American Express, VISA, and IBM to handle Medicare payments and in 60 days you would save a TRILLION DOLLARS."

Newt Gingrich is probably the smartest most innovative politician we've had in decades. He's laying all of his plans, out there in depth, substance and complete explanation along with his proven track record of having given America a 4.2% unemployment rate, 11 million new jobs, government cost savings of $5 TRILLION leaving office having created a $2.2 TRILLION budget surplus and as the only man in modern times to have balanced America's budget, which he did four years in a row.

He's putting this out there for all Americans to learn, come to understand, like and support. BEFORE, he climbs so far up the polls that the Obama and liberal media attack dogs see him as a threat to Obama and launch their destroy and annihilate strategies against him. By the time Obama and liberal media catch on that's he's the serious challenger opposition to Obama candidate and need to destroy him. his message will already be out there, understood and supported. Creating an, "I don't care about stupid stuff from 15 years ago. He's the man, he's got the ideas, the know how, the track record and ability to give this country and it's people exactly what they need right now. He's our man!"

If Cain goes on a ticket as VP with Gingrich and uses Gingrich as his Washington get things done mentor. Cain will be unstoppable to follow up Gingrich's presidency with his own.

Here’s another personal experience of mine in having to deal with the exact problems Newt Gingrich states undermines our American Federal government’s effectiveness at efficiency and serving the citizen.  Followed by a Newt Gingrich style of innovative thinking pertaining to government.  That I came to on my own once I got in the Newt Gingrich innovative mode of thinking.

I sent in the paper copyright form along with a copy of my CD for copyright registration. THIRTEEN YEARS LATER, I got the form back saying I had forgotten to check a box on the form. THIRTEEN YEARS!!

Now apply Gingrich's line of thinking. For a copyright registration. I could go online to the copyright website. Fill out the application information online, upload a digital copy of my CD, just like how you buy them from iTunes but in reverse, uploading instead of downloading. I punch in my credit card number to pay the fee, I click send. DONE. The copyright office instantly gets my Application information, my copy of my CD, my payment for the fee. It's immediately automatically entered into their system, I get an online receipt with a copyright number on it. DONE. 13 minutes instead of 13 years. Save money in wasted paper, save money in necessary physical storage space, save money in postage costs, save money in dozens of hourly labor costs and more effectively gets the job done. Sounds so obvious, I should feel stupid for being excited about it. BUT, you just aren't conditioned to government seeming, simple, fast, effective and inexpensive.

Here’s a substantive, informative exchange between Gingrich and Cain in areas that directly effect our lives and health from their debate I link below:

GINGRICH:
Medicare pays between $70-120 billion a year to crooks…like dentists who file 982 procedures a day. The Super Committee is not looking at this, because it requires thinking about Government…and getting people in Washington to THINK is a very big challenge.

I wrote a book in 2002 called Saving Lives and Saving Money, and I outlined what to do. Washington will do three stupid things instead of one smart thing.

I just put on the table trillions of dollars that would be saved by not paying crooks. Why is it so hard to not penalize good people before you stop paying crooks. You can take existing IBM technology and use it to stop paying crooks.

Why is it so hard to say you can turn this around and pass a bill to contract out to American Express, VISA, and IBM to handle Medicare payments and in 60 days you would save a TRILLION DOLLARS.

Anyone who currently prefers to go to a premium support system should do it next year. Tom Price has a great bill that says if you want to contract out for healthcare let’s give you more freedom. Medicare is more restrictive than the British system.

When you get the government in the business of defining what you should have, the government will say you don’t need this or that when you do.

Prostate Example — Medicare says not to test for prostate cancer, when lives can be saved if detected quickly. No one who is a urologist or cancer specialist is making these decisions. It is just bureaucrats. You need to move to a place where people get help buying insurance but the family, the patient, and the doctors make the primary decisions on keeping you healthy. Just imagine if there was government approval on IPhones or computers…bureaucrats would stop innovation and would say that 1960 model is just fine for you.

CAIN:
I am supposed to have a minute to disagree with Gingrich, but I don’t disagree with anything. So I would like to instead to add a historical perspective, since Gingrich and I can change the rules as we go. I remember talking about Medicare when I first went to Godfather’s pizza. Things inside the company were easier to control outside. Medicare started in 1965 and our government told us it would cost $6 billion to rollout, and we were told that by 1990 it would cost $12 billion. But in 1990, it actually cost $109 billion. IT WAS A 900% MISS.

How many businesses can survive missing a target like this. Long term government projections about cost have never been right. NAME ONE.


Here's another place you've probably never even thought of pertaining to government. I haven't and you guys surely know by now I'm a "Thinker." :)

The president of a huge worldwide company like Wallmart. Can sit down at his desk and through the information technology systems Wallmart uses to track it's finances. He can tell you where every single dollar of revenue that comes into Wallmart enters the Wallmart financial system, down to the specific cash register, in the specific Wallmart location in the specific town and country throughout every single cash register Wallmart owns across the whole world. He can track every single dollar that comes in as revenue to the Wallmart corporation by simply sitting at his desk, all the way down to the receipt number, credit card number, check number or cash that created that dollar of revenue. IN REAL TIME, AS IT'S HAPPENING!!!

He can do the exact same thing with every dollar of expenses down to who that dollar was paid out to. Wallmart's number of consumer purchases (revenues coming into the system) and expenses (expenses going out of the system) are thousands of multiples more than those of the United States Federal Government. Which has only 112.5 Million purchasers, taxpayers, sources of system revenue, YEARLY. Wallmart, worldwide, probably surpasses that number in a matter of a few MINUTES. My best guess is that the president of Wallmart can probably access this real time information from one cash register in Indonesia from his iPhone while on a golf course in Palm Springs.

So, why is it the United States government has no clue where it's money goes, is spent, gets lost, gets stolen, gets wasted, gets defrauded???!!!! If the Wallmart corporate president can in real time check where every single dollar goes in and out of the corporation. Can see, "Damn our purchaser in this division just paid $400 for a hammer. Immediately fire that person and defund the purchase." Why can't the United States government do that??!!

Because, the United States government operates on a mentality in it's functional systems at a place in technology before the wheel has even been invented. While Wallmart uses technology the most advanced automobile made.

It takes the government THREE YEARS to process a tax return. Wallmart could do it INSTANTLY through it's technology information systems.

Truth is, every single American should be able to go online and see where every single tax dollar is spent. To what agency it was given to, to what source that agency paid that dollar out to, to what purpose that dollar was spent to serve. With the obvious exception of national security. It allows complete government transparency which we should be allowed. It's our money, not the government's money. It puts the equation right-side up again, in the government works for us, is responsible to us, is accountable to us. Not the equation that has been perverted to the exact opposite of it's created purpose for existence under which we live now. Where we are work for the government, we are responsible to the government, we are accountable to the government.

That's Newt Gingrich thinking applied to government systems. He's truly innovative in his vision of perfection in government functionality, cost and time efficiency and in serving the customer, the citizen.

Why have we as a people allowed our government to continually operate in the “dark ages” versus the advanced “technological age” of our current time?  Because, those in government have “brainwashed” us to believe that government exists to serve an ideology.  But, truth government exists to serve it’s people universally, NOT ideologically.  Why has our government chosen to stay in the “dark ages” versus operating in the advanced “technological age” of our time?  Because, they get to operate behind closed doors, blinding us to what they are really doing and why they are doing it.

We have many Federal agencies that serve absolutely not true government purpose.  Providing benefit to all citizens equally and unilaterally.  An example is The Department of Education.  What is the TRUE purpose of The Department Of Education?  To serve function, effective higher level of quality of education in America, turning out students in mass that rank in education product at the top of the world rankings?  NO!! Which is exactly why we are now ranked #19 in education versus other countries in the world.  The Department of Education exists for one and one purpose only.  To serve political ideology.  To indoctrinate American children into a political ideological way of thinking and continuing that ideological indoctrination throughout their whole education.  So, much emphasis is put on liberal ideological indoctrination in our American students.  That the true purpose and responsibility of education is being neglected and ignored, which reflects in the products our American education produces.  Students who cannot compete on an educational level worldwide.  That’s how our current “dark ages” approach to government operates.  That’s why our current government approaches exist as they do.  Purely to serve political ideology, not to best serve it’s citizens, it’s purpose for existence in the first place.

Political ideology should be something that is found, applied and used in thinking from the bottom up.  NOT, the top down as it operates under our current government political system.

Truth is there is not one HONEST democrat out there than can condemn Newt Gingrich.  Because, every time a democrat holds up Bill Clinton's presidency as an example of good leadership creating 11 million of jobs, getting people off of welfare into jobs, balancing the budget four years in a row, having an unemployment rate of 4.2%, and leaving behind a $2 TRILLION budget surplus.  They are actually endorsing Newt Gingrich.  Because, Newt Gingrich was the mastermind who created and passed all of the legislation that created Bill Clinton's positive fiscal legacy.  All Clinton did was sign the bills and legislation into law that Gingrich created. :)

Which creates quite a "pickle" for the democrats. Because, they have to condemn Clinton to condemn Gingrich. :)

MAKE THE TIME TO WATCH THIS DEBATE!! IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK ABOUT GOVERNMENT TO POSITIVE WAYS!!
