"While Rep. Michelle Bachmann, R-Minn., has forcefully denounced the Medicaid program for swelling the "welfare rolls," the mental health clinic run by her husband has been collecting annual Medicaid payments totaling over $137,000 for the treatment of patients since 2005, according to new figures obtained by NBC News."
"The previously unreported payments are on top of the $24,000 in federal and state funds that Bachmann & Associates, the clinic founded by Marcus Bachmann, a clinical therapist, received in recent years under a state grant to train its employees, state records show. The figures were provided to NBC News in response to a Freedom of Information request."
Sadly Bachman is just another RINO. If she gets elected just expect more of the same. It would be no different if Romney or any of the others EXCEPT Ron Paul or Gary Johnson who have proven consistent track records. They aren't professional flip floppers in the race for what they can get out of it like Obama has been and would continue to be.
Another fail by the left, they must be scared [MOD CUT] of this woman. They are arguing that she is wrong for opposing the current rules of the game her husband is forced to play under. This reminds me of the dolts hwo ask those who oppose medicare to give up the benefits they paid into without any alternative. They simple don't understand (or are more likely demagogues) that you have to work within the system as it exists. Protesting against a system while livng in it is the way we work in a Democratic system.

No, she's wrong for applauding the agriculture department getting directly involved in buying pork products while championing less government and free markets. Damn hypocrite!
False analogy. Mr. Bachman is receiving medicaid money as income.
Oh, thanks for that clarification. I was just going by what the article said:
