Bachmann: Be more like China, end ‘Great Society’ programs

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann says that the U.S. should be more like China and do away with Great Society programs like Medicare and Medicaid.

At a debate with seven other Republican candidates in South Carolina Saturday night, National Journal‘s Major Garrett asked Bachmann what programs she would eliminate as president.

“The ‘Great Society’ has not worked and it’s put us into the modern welfare state,” she explained, referring to a set of domestic programs put in place by President Lyndon B. Johnson. They included the Civil Rights Act, the War on Poverty, federal aid to public education, Medicare, Medicaid, the National Endowment for the Arts, public broadcasting, the Department of Transportation, various consumer protection agencies and environmental protections.

3. I hope somebody looks at public records and fines somebody in her family used or is using any of
those services. Her parents better hadn't taken a penny from SS.

6. Yes. But I'd really like to know if family members of these fools who want to end SS, Medicare, etc
have or are using them.

7. She is so stupid, it makes my brain ache. What does she call the
New Rural Cooperative Medical Care System that covers about 80% of rural Chinese residents and their children? What about their old age pensioners' health care? Covered. I call those medicaid and medicare.

How did she ever get in Congress? She is just too stupid.
