Michele Bach mann There seems to be a common idea among these fiscal extremists that if they can only convince the old folks that they won't be hurt, then they'll have no problem selling this d ysto pian future to the country. I don't know why they think that. The over 55ers don't trust them to keep their word (after all, they're prepared to tell people 54 and under that all the money they've put in was for nothing) and they also tend to love their kids and grand kids enough not to want to consign them to a Death Race 2000 kind of existence. And I think they might need some other people to vote for them so blatantly screwing them probably isn't going to be a huge selling point.
If you’re old, then Bachmann thinks there’s an “obligation” for you to keep your health care and pension benefits. But not only do those of us born later than 1956 have no right to decent health care and pension when we are old, but if we’re right now relying on student loans to make college affordable, that’s going to be cut. If you’re a parent relying on Medicaid to cover your autistic child’s treatment, you’re out of luck. If commute to work and are hoping America continues to have a viable transportation infrastructure, you’re out of luck. Absolutely everyone born after 1956 is going to be subject to immediate draconian cuts in the programs we benefit from, while we’re supposed to believe that nobody born earlier than that will suffer even the slightest bit.
Several praised a proposed amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would define marriage as between one man and one woman, a position popular among conservative voters. Bach mann said she supported that, but she added that states have the right to write their own laws and said that if elected president, she would not step into state politics – a nod to tea partyers who cherish the Constitution's 10th Amendment.Obama's rivals found little if anything to like in what the president has done since taking office in the midst of the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.Former Sen. Rick San torum accused Obama of pursuing "oppressive policies" that have shackled the economy.
