Gingrich Calls for "Abolishing" Pay Czar; Predicts "Leadership of the Socialist Wing of the Democratic Party" has "50-50" Chance at Passing a Public Option with Healthcare Reform

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Bulletproof Blog, the nation's premier high-stakes communications blog, published an interview today with former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich on the latest legislative and regulatory developments to effect America's business landscape.

In the interview, Speaker Gingrich provides insights on the most significant issues impacting the crossroads of business and government, including healthcare reform and the newly appointed federal pay czar. Excerpts from the complete interview, which can be accessed on www.bulletproofblog.com include:

Gingrich on the Federal Pay Czar: "...the destructive impact of a political appointee controlling compensation will drive away first class people and lead to Shanghai and London replacing New York as the center of finance."

Gingrich's predication for the public option in the health care bill: "Health reform on the left is about bigger government, not about better health. The leadership of the socialist wing of the Democratic Party wants this so badly that its passage has to be considered a 50-50 possibility despite intense public opposition."
