Michele Bachmann: Obama is peddling ‘crack cocaine’ health care

Source: MSNBC

Minnesota Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann likened President Obama to a drug dealer.

“President Obama can’t wait to get Americans addicted to the crack cocaine of dependency on more government health care,” she said in an interview with the far-right WorldNetDaily site where she regularly gives explosive interviews.

Once they enroll millions of more individual Americans, it will be virtually impossible for us to pull these benefits back from people,” Bachmann continued. “All they want to do is buy love from people by giving them massive government subsidies.”

Gee whiz! We can't have people getting health care at reasonable prices? What? They are going to love it. They're going to want to be able to call their doctor whenever they are sick? Americans don't deserve that. Let them all suffer, those no-good ordinary, $10 per hour people. They are worthless. Give them good healthcare and who knows what they will want next. Healthy food? Clean air? Free water? Jobs?

That's what Republicans are saying and thinking in private. As if the American people are lazy and no-good and dependent just because they want to be able to go to the hospital when they break a leg or get seriously ill, just because they want to be able to take their children to the doctor when they are sick.

What's really sick is the sadism of the Republicans.

http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/michelle_bachman_welfare_queen_20091221

But data compiled from federal records by Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit watchdog that tracks the recipients of agricultural subsidies in the United States, shows that Bachmann has an inner Marxist that is perfectly at ease with profiting from taxpayer largesse. According to the organization’s records, Bachmann’s family farm received $251,973 in federal subsidies between 1995 and 2006. The farm had been managed by Bachmann’s recently deceased father-in-law and took in roughly $20,000 in 2006 and $28,000 in 2005, with the bulk of the subsidies going to dairy and corn. Both dairy and corn are heavily subsidized—or “socialized”—businesses in America (in 2005 alone, Washington spent $4.8 billion propping up corn prices) and are subject to strict government price controls. These subsidies are at the heart of America’s bizarre planned agricultural economy and as far away from Michele Bachmann’s free-market dream world as Cuba’s free medical system. If American farms such as hers were forced to compete in the global free market, they would collapse.
