Bachmann says she’d show economy ‘tough love’

Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann said Monday that she opposes raising the national debt ceiling because it would be like raising the limit on the federal government's credit card and costing Americans more through higher taxes.

Bachmann, a Minnesota congresswoman, told about 50 Cemen Tech employees that she favors a “tough love” approach in Washington D.C. that will require some reprioritizing and big reductions of federal spending, repealing federal health care changes, easing tax burdens for job creators, and easing “job-killing EPA regulations” that are impeding a U.S. economic recovery at a time when unemployment is at a “stunningly bad” 9.2 percent.
