The deeper message of Newt’s proposal is that government does not have to do ANY large projects. If you can colonize the Moon using incentives, then you can do almost anything:
Rebuild decaying infrastructure?
Establish a smart electric grid?
Provide quality education to all US citizens?
Create a missile defense system that can protect the US?
Once you realize the implications you can see why this scares the crap out of the political establishment and their crony capitalist clients. If Newt does not get the nod for 2012, then at least ensure he has a leading role in the new Administration
