Rep. Michele Bachmann said the "gangster government" has instituted a "takeover of one private industry after another," again making her questionable claim that "the federal government owns or controls 51 percent of the private economy."
She said the Obama administration is "perfectly content with presiding over a decline in our economy," adding: "I'd say it's time for these little piggies to go home, and come November that's where they're headed."
Bachmann railed against virtually every Obama administration initiative, including the financial industry reform effort now being considered to prevent another financial meltdown. Echoing GOP talking points distributed by a Republican pollster, she claimed the bill "is really a permanent bailout authority for the government for Wall Street and the big banks."
