GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann will hold a series of job forums next Monday, May 10th. A spokeswoman for Bachmann said Bachmann will be at each event. Here are the details from the office:

With the unemployment rate in Minnesota coming in at over 8%, Minnesotans are rightly worried about the economy, the seemingly futile policies being enacted by our government to combat it, and the future of our nation. I hope that Sixth District residents are able to join me at one of the four forums on May 10th so we can work together to discuss new policies and opportunities for job growth as our economy struggles to regain its momentum.

County and state employment specialists have been invited to be on-site to provide individual assistance and advice for those hiring and those seeking employment. The forums are free and open to the public.

"With the unemployment rate in Minnesota coming in at over 8%, Minnesotans are rightly worried about the economy, the seemingly futile policies being enacted by our government to combat it, and the future of our nation."

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Representative Bachmann a part of that government that's producing 'futile' policies to address the economic downturn? Sounds to me like an admission of guilt in failing to do her job.

Bachmann has been a part of the government she criticizes her entire life--and she's been happy to cash a paycheck or farm subsidy check for it too. Tax collector for the IRS, state senator, member of Congress, farm subsidy recipient, government-subsidized health care, government pension--it's all good enough for Michele. Why is it that gummint-hating Teabaggers like Bachmann are always the first to line up at the public trough?
