Once again, Michelle Bachmann is yelling and screaming about government handouts, but her and her family? Oh that's different! And again, Bachmann refuses to comment. Bachmann and Associates, Inc., a Christian mental health clinic founded and run by Rep. Michele Bachmann's husband, has been taking money from Minnesota's coffers since it was founded in 2003. It's the latest example of a disjuncture in Bachmann's rhetoric: the Sixth District Republican has seen her star rise in Tea Party circles for fiery rhetoric opposing government "handouts" and "socialized medicine," while, again, she's found to be directly benefiting from government funds. Since 2007, the clinic, run by Marcus Bachmann, has taken in nearly $30,000. (snip) The mental health clinic's Medical Assistance funding isn't the first instance when Bachmann, whose anti-socialist views are highlighted in the new documentary Socialism: A Biblical Response, has taken money from the government. According to a 2007 report, Bachmann's family received more than $250,000 in farm subsidies, mostly for dairy and corn, over the last decade. http://tinyurl.com/257zdyq --- Xnews/5.04.25* Origin: Fidonet Via Newsreader - http://www.easternstar.info (1:123/789.0) SEEN-BY: 3/0 633/267 640/954 712/0 313 550 848 @PATH: 123/789 500 261/38 712/848 633/267 |
