Michele Bachmann (R-MN) offered some solutions to the country's financial woes, saying, "We can't put the so called social issues on the back burner while we are solving our economic challenges because the family is the solution to those challenges." Bachmann offered that when it comes to entitlement reform, "I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this." Andy Birkey of the Minnesota Independent reports that speaking to a group of about 200 South Carolina Republicans, Bachmann called the tax code "a weapon of mass destruction," and said, "We need to get rid of the blood-sucking tax code. It's got to go, just scrap the current tax code." Bachmann also addressed social issues, declaring that "the bureaucrats now hate our values; there's a war on marriage, a war on family, a war on fertility all while funding and promoting abortion." We don't need political correctness because most fundamentally I believe the building block of the family is what the government needs to do right now and support two-parent families as the foundation of our economic and social policy. Birkey writes: The problem is our health care welfare spending which is out of control," she said. "The good news is we can solve this problem. It needs to be a market based approach." She offered up a somewhat non-traditional solution: "We need to simply tell people the facts, like Glenn Beck, with that chalkboard, that man can explain anything. I think if we give Glenn Beck the numbers, he can solve this." Bachmann also accused President Obama of being too "politically correct": "Our Peace Prize-winning president is very busy bowing these days to kings. He is bending down to dictators, and he is brown-nosing the elites that are in Europe, and he's babying the jihadists who are following Sharia-compliant terrorism."[/release]

I have this... this idea... maybe just hear me out... maybe, are you listening... maybe we should raise taxes to pay for the essential things we need to live. Crazy I know, it's not like we have a ridiculously low tax rate or anything, and it's not like our fucking services are getting cut or that our standard of living keeps declining.

Didn't Glenn Beck say that we should just go into a cave with an arm full of gold and beer and just wait? Well, that does actually sound good especially in this time of the economy.

They have nothing newsworthy to say ever and are just blights to society who exist because of the idiots who stand up for them.

Dangerously high levels of idiocy in our government. In other news, Glenn Beck is the most hilariously self-unaware troll in existence.

[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;28226256]Sums up the House of Representatives for the past 20 years.[/QUOTE] Number five is what pushes it past normalcy. I doubt even Glenn Beck would say he could solve the economic problem. He'd just suggest the massive conspiracy about how the president is stealing Joe Plumber's wages.

war on fertility? with big penis missiles? how does that work exactly

I gotta say, the fact that she has a constituency worries me more than anything she actually does.

Why do conservatives defend things that don't really need defending?

How to solve financial issues: [b]Step 1: Stop talking out your ass[/b]

why are the dumbest people always in positions of power?

Is Glenn Beck an economist? FUCK NO!

He actually responded to this, attempting to use the numbers she says to solve the crisis. He then started talking about how communists, students and Egyptians want democracy and he wants a republic.

I really can't fucking understand why Republicans (maybe some Democrats as well) want to keep on cutting funding for services, and lowering the US standard of living at the same time instead of just creating new taxes. "Boo hoo socialism!" is the stupidest shit I've ever heard, a government doesn't pull money out of its ass, it needs funding from tax paying dollars.
