Bachmann: If We Cared, We’d Cure Alzheimer’s Disease in Ten Years

Rep. Michele Bachmann delivered a typically incoherent speech at CPAC this year which revolved around the theme of caring; specifically, conservatives care and liberals do not.

To demonstrate her point, Bachmann claimed that people cared back in the 1950s, which was why Dr. Jonas Salk found a vaccine for polio and then gave it to President Eisenhower who, because he also cared, then gave it to all Americans.

Contrast that to today when the nation is facing the costs associated with treating Alzheimer’s Disease when “a much smarter strategy would be to develop a cure. That’s caring!”

Yeah, no one is working on a cure or studying Alzheimer’s right now.
