Socialism Hater Bachmann Has Received $250K in Farm Subsidies

Conservatives are fond of accusing government programs of being socialism. However they have no problem with corporate welfare like bailouts and defense contracting. It turns out that rabid right-winger Rep. Michelle Bachman is a welfare queen.

Although she has bashed government programs and voted against increasing Pell grants for college, it turns out her family farm has received about $250,000 in government subsidies over a 10-year period.

I guess people like Bachmann only hate government programs when they are helping poor people.
