Rick Santorum in Survey of 2012 Presidential campaign websites

On Technology: Moon base is fiscal insanity

The Santorum for President campaign released a nationwide radio ad today entitled "Out of This World." It exposes Rep. Gingrich's fiscally insane plan to colonize the moon as just another example of exponentially growing the size of government. This presents a clear contrast with Rick Santorum's fiscally conservative vision to balance the budget, reform entitlements, and revitalize American manufacturing. Script To "Out Of This World":

Voice Over: Reckless spending has led to a $15 trillion national debt.
That's $50,000 of debt for every person in America, and it's crushing our economic recovery.
And what's does Newt Gingrich suggest? Spending half a trillion dollars on a moon colony.
Gingrich's idea is fiscal insanity.
And another reason true conservatives are uniting behind Rick Santorum.
Unlike Gingrich, Santorum opposed all the bailouts. And Rick Santorum successfully reformed welfare, and has fought tirelessly for a balanced budget amendment.

On Technology: Moon colony is fiscal insanity during debt crisis

The Rick Santorum for President campaign today released a new nationwide radio advertisement today entitled "Out of This World." It exposes Representative Gingrich's fiscally insane plan to colonize the moon. This presents a clear contrast with Rick Santorum's fiscally conservative vision to balance the budget, reform entitlements, and revitalize American manufacturing.

Reckless spending has led to a $15 trillion national debt.
And what's does Newt Gingrich suggest? Spending half a trillion dollars on a moon colony.
Newt Gingrich: " By the end of my second term we will have the first permanent base on the moon. When we have 13,000 living on the moon, they can petition to become a state."
Gingrich's idea is fiscal insanity.
Unlike Gingrich, Santorum opposed all the bailouts. And Rick Santorum successfully reformed welfare, and has fought tirelessly for a balanced budget amendment.
