Newt the moon.......

Newt Gingrich says that if he's elected president, by the time he ends his SECOND term, we will have a colony on the moon with enough people to make it a state.

Two questions...........think that if Newt is elected, he'd even get a second term?

And second.............how would the US pay for it if Newt lowers taxes?

Any Major space project like that in the Future is going to have to be a Joint Government and Private Business Venture. We simply can not spend the Cash it would take to do, unless there is some sort of Profit Motivator to it.

I think Newts Ideas come off as sensational and not to serious but the Basic Idea of Establishing a Base or Colony on the Moon as a stepping stone to Future Space Exploration is a very Sound and Logical one. Especially in light of the Recent Confirmation of Ice, and Other Important Raw Materials being Present.
 
This sounds like radical Marxism to me. How are we supposed to build a space colony on the Moon without massive wealth redistribution?
