Gingrich's Campaign Looks Over Before It Begins

Newt Gingrich got his campaign for the Republican presidential nomination off to a bold, if perplexing, start by attacking Paul Ryan's budget plan as "right-wing social engineering" and affirming his support for the individual mandate in health care reform. In subsequent clarifications, he said he was opposed to the Obama mandate on constitutional grounds--the same rationale Mitt Romney offers in defence of his Massachusetts plan--and said he was not in a fight with Paul Ryan even though they disagree about how to reform Medicare. Ryan said, "With allies like that, who needs the left?"

Gingrich has backed some form of mandate in health care for years. Give him some credit for sticking to this line (which also happens to be correct). But still one wonders how he expects to get the nomination from a party so bitterly opposed to that view. Republicans in Congress and on the airwaves queued up to stamp on him. It's not good to be entirely occupied with damage control on day one of your campaign.

Something other GOP candidates might be asking themselves is how far, if at all, they are now allowed to disagree with the Ryan budget. The idea that it cannot be criticised would be strange, bearing in mind that the party has very mixed feelings about it. Many Republicans do in fact disagree with Ryan's Medicare plan. A lot of them think it's insane. Of course one can disagree with Ryan's proposal--suggest ways of improving it, let's put it that way--without contemptuously dismissing it as "right-wing social engineering".  But the party would apparently rather not talk about it than thrash the issues out and come up with something better. Again, the permanent election campaign shuts down intelligent thinking about policy.

A simple way to make the Ryan Medicare plan  more palatable would be to change the formula he proposes for uprating the value of the voucher--to revert, in other words, to the plan he and Alice Rivlin proposed last year . A sufficiently generous voucher comes back within the range of the politically possible, though the question of how to contain costs, of course, would remain. What a shame if this becomes another Issue That Cannot Be Discussed. Like raising taxes on the middle class, or reforming the immigration laws, for instance.

Let me clarify my own position on something.

For the textile industry, enterprise PDM solution _

Textile machinery is a typical variety, small batch, personalized design to highlight the product. Levels of more products in the fierce market competition and changing customer needs, under the dual pressures, development of engineering design sector faces pressing, weight and other problems. In recent years, PDM (Product Data Management) as a comprehensive information service to business of new construction technology, more and more enterprises have been applied. PDM is a high-level It can be composed of user requirements to multiple hardware platforms of any size, multi-network environment, multi-database, multi-layer distributed Server, integration with multiple applications across the enterprise, the large regional PDM system for concurrent engineering-based enterprises thinking of a complete solution.

First, the demand for textile machinery industry PDM

1. Textile Industry Features

Zhengzhou Textile Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to Cheng Textile Machinery ) as an example of the characteristics of textile machinery industry, Zheng main products are textile sizing, printing and dyeing, chemical fiber, drying, non-woven textile machinery equipment, and other five categories. Cheng Textile Machinery Enterprise information systems must be adapted to large, difficult, and change features. The first is the larger enterprises, 1.8 billion yuan in output value of textile machinery Zheng, 1 million employees; to run 200 products per month to play, highlight the design of personalized products, short delivery time followed by the production organization is difficult Cheng Textile Machinery product types and varieties, there are 6 categories of products, 1,800 units machines, more than 20 million parts, manage large range, covering all aspects of business management, multi-species, small quantities, in bulk, large quantities of mixed production, the production organization difficult; then there are the user requirements of short lead orders, product design complexity, the existing management infrastructure and modern management system in conflict. At present, enterprises are in the active phase of the business process changes, institutional changes in the larger; Zhengzhou Jingwei shares and shares of big X framework to enable remote management between the sub-branch is difficult.
