The GOP’s Big Lie on Obama and jobs

4. 'Natura non facit saltum'

(Nature does not make discountinuous jumps) was the epigram on the frontispiece of the widely-read lste nineteenth century economics text "Principles of Economics" by Alfred Marshall.

IMO, this is what the bikin chart and the WP article in the OP are saying. Thus it well may be accurate to say that Newt Gingrich does not know the FIRST THING about economics!

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natura_non_facit_saltus for the origins and use of this principle by great scientists mathematicians and philosophers throughout history.
