Bachmann falsely

Bachmann falsely stated ACORN faces criminal charges
On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee passed an amendment Bachmann offered to the Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act, which would ban groups facing federal indictment for voter fraud from receiving federal foreclosure relief funds.

Bachmann praised the passage of her amendment, writing, “Before we commit anymore taxpayers’ dollars, I want to ensure that organizations, such as ACORN, are prohibited from receiving funds while simultaneously facing charges of voter fraud and tax violations. Although I do not support the underlying legislation, I am pleased that the Committee took these measures to provide some layer of protection for taxpayers.”

Bachmann: Obama’s Policies Are Fitting America’s 19 And 20-Year-Olds ‘With Shackles And Chains’

BACHMANN: Well, I tell you what I am concerned about are the current 19 and 20-year-olds that are going to hold this debt. And it’s the mother of all ironies, John and Brian, that the kids who voted en masse for Barack Obama are the ones being fitted with shackles and chains. And they’re going to wake up one morning and find out that their tax rate is 65% or higher. Who is going to get out of bed in the morning if you realize that two-thirds or more of your day is spent earning money? You are working for Uncle Sam and you keep very little.
