Need help finding origin of Bachmann stupidity...

"Since the President’s failed trillion dollar stimulus we have lost over 2.5 million jobs while adding 416,000 government jobs."

Heard this claim repeated today by a friend of mine. Ive done some searching and found it repeated a lot lately but cant find specifically where or how they come to this conclusion. One article I found that actually sites a reference points to bureau of labor statistics and research from George Mason University. Yes I know its highly likely they have pulled it directly from their ass. But if it is a twisting of facts and figures I would like to know how. Im still looking but is anybody else familiar with this popular right wing claim?

*edit* Found the George Mason "study" they use as a resource. I havent looked at it closely yet. But if anybody wants to interpret right wing economics, have at it.

5. I agree with you there....

But simply telling this person that Bachmanns claim is bullshit would quickly be disregarded. Id like to be a little more thorough in my response if possible.

6. SHE wasn't homeschooled . . .

She graduated from Anoka High School in 1974.

And there's not a damn thing wrong with BEING homeschooled. (If'n you do it right! Just ask all the DU'ers who do it!)

7. First, the stimulus wasn't a trillion dollars, second, no one claimed it was a silver bullet

Since Obama has taken office more than 2 million private sector jobs have been created. Bachmann is just basically blaming Obama for the runaway rollercoaster that started under Bush. Bachmann is basically insulting Obama for not being Superman, instead a mere mortal with a rabid fright-wing opposition. She is obviously a delusional psychotic who hears voices. This is the republican tactic: Disaster Capitalism.
