Frugal Socialists

Bachmann: ‘Too Many Republicans … Aspire to Be Frugal Socialists’

Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), who is running for president, said Monday that “too many Republicans … aspire to be frugal socialists” who “share the same core political philosophy about the purpose of government” as President Barack Obama.
When asked to name the Republicans she was speaking about, Bachman jokingly told a reporter, “That’s part of the puzzle you get to figure out when I give the speech.”
Speaking at the Family Research Council in Washington, D.C., Bachmann warned that if the United States was not willing to make major changes in cutting spending it would end up like Greece, which has gone bankrupt and required a bailout from European neighbors.
