Just like their ideas on managing government...their business management skills are no better.

I guess I can see why they went bankrupt if they can't narrow down their liabilities with less than a factor of 10.

having the words "Newt Gingrich", "health care" and "think tank" together on the same continent, much less in the same thought, is just plain unworkable and ridiculous.
No wonder this organization is bankrupt.
