Small government for thee but not for me! I love the way politicians like Bachmann will take in 1000s of dollars in farm subsidies and who knows how many government business loans and/or programs yet talk the big talk of small government.

Adding to this is that when you come down to it Bachmann has been a “government employee” since she entered the Minnesota Senate in 2001. Much like another crypto-free marketeer, Ron Paul, who’s been employed by Uncle Sam since he joined the Air Force in the 1960s. Bullshit artists all of them.

Here’s the Bachmann-Welfare™ information:

In the period from 1995 through 2006, the Bachmann family farm as a whole received $251,973 in federal subsidies, chiefly for dairy and corn price supports.
