Bachmann: USA should be less socialist --like China...
“The ‘Great Society’ has not worked and it’s put us into the modern welfare state,” she said. “If you look at China, they don’t have food stamps. If you look at China, they’re in a very different situation. They save for their own retirement security…They don’t have the modern welfare state and China’s growing. And so what I would do is look at the programs that LBJ gave us with the Great Society and they’d be gone.”

1. We should also be more free, like North Korea.
:eyes:

She, Cain, and Perry have got to stop sharing a single brain cell between them and get their own.

3. So she wants to trade the Civil Rights Act for Communism.

4. But
Didn't LBJ give us the Voters Rights Act? Well she is a Republican, and the only minorities who should have the right to vote are those who support the Republicans!

That's what I'm reading with my basic logic 101 class.

= China

Therefore COMMUNISM

11. The ignorance and lack of shame is mind-boggling.

12. I like how the press corpse fails to call her out on it.
Especially the "debate" moderators. LOLBINF.

13. I think what she meant was
that more workers should fling themselves off of factory rooftops to reduce the surplus population.
