Rep. Michelle Bachmann (R-MN) says ...

If you want to look at economic history over the last 100 years. I call it punctuated equilibrium. If you look at FDR, LBJ, and Barack Obama, this is really the final leap to socialism. … But we all know that we could turn this around and we can turn this around fairly quickly. We’re still a free country.

And as the Democrats are about to institutionalize cartels — that’s what they’re very good at — they’re trying to consolidate power, so we need to do everything we can to thwart them at every turn to make sure that they aren’t able to, for all time, secure a power base that for all time can never be defeated.
Someone get this lunatic a history textbook ... STAT!

Rep. Michelle Bachman (R-MN) says ...

Why would a lender make a 30 year loan if they fear the powers of the federal government will violate the very terms of that loan? They'll only make those loans at a great cost both to the borrower and to our society. Surely as day follows night we will witness yet another nail in the coffin of home developers, who already are reeling under the burden of poisonous government policies. Experts currently estimate that the additional costs due to the risk of the cramdown bill would raise mortgage rates as much as two full percentage points, or substantially increase required down payments. This is the last thing homeowners need. The last thing our economy needs. There's responsible homeowners all across American who are living within their means, who are making honest representations on their loan applications and pay their debts, and working hard to achieve the American Dream. Let's not disadvantage them.
Not to just indiscriminately attack her ... but ... WOW, what a freaking nut job.
