MPR Article on Non-Farmer Bachmann Ripping Off Taxpayer-Funded Farm Subsidies

MPR reports on professed Tea-Party congress members who are also entitlement junkies:

GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, an outspoken critic of farm payments, listed between $15,000 and $50,000 in farm income as one source of revenue on her personal financial disclosure statement last year, citing a Bachmann family farm in Independence, Wis., as an asset.

That farm, which was owned by her father-in-law, received more than $250,000 in subsidies over the past 15 years, according to the Environmental Working Group. A Bachmann spokesman said she is not involved in any operational decisions.


For loyal Dump Bachmann readers, this is old news.
