Michelle Bachmann tweeted that the US is getting trounced economically by Canada, which she says is recovering inspite of having "no stimulus" spending.
Wrong Michelle! Canada spent $360 million in stimulus money, half the US total, in a country 1/10th our size.
If Bachmann wants to be taken seriously as a candidate, she's going to have to stop pulling stuff out of her butt. She's entitled to her own (screwy) opinions, but not her own facts.

uhm
360 million is half of 890 billion.........?????????
btw 1/10 of the spending would have been 8.9 billion...1/100th of the spending would have been 890 million...so they spent about 1/250th of the money for a country 1/10th the size(in population)....so if reality they really didnt have any stimulus spending
so I guess you are just as wrong as that politician.....
btw specify when you say size,, because geographicly canada is actually larger....I understand you meant population

Michelle Bachmann is not in charge of anything yet. She can say whatever she wants until election day.
Her "mistake" is not as bad as a Barry outright LIE.
People running for President are on their game--showing you their best. If they cannot do that during their campaign (or whatever she is doing) then, I don't expect much more of them when they have gotten where they want to be. I look at the candidates as if they were on a job interview. So, I don't agree that she can say what she wants.
Personally, I don't care about little "mistakes" but I also won't pass them off because someone who opposes my candidate did the same or worse. Each person should stand on their own merit.
I think the American people deserve better than sloppy candidates.

No, you're as wrong as she is. 360 million? Where'd you come up with that one? Did you read it in full? Apparently not. Here's the quote.
"As Bloomberg reported in January 2009, this stimulus was CAN$40 billion, equal in then-current exchange rates to US$32.6 billion, over two years (a similar period as Obama's US$787 billion stimulus). If we make further adjustments, using IMF data for each country from the year 2008 for purchasing-power parity, per-capita GDP, and the much larger population of the United States, this would work out as very roughly equal to a stimulus of over US$360 billion if it were done here."
It's really not that hard to comprehend, if you read what was written, is it?
