To all of you who talk as if you know the facts...especially the one who wrote - " I specifically pointed out that of all of the potential candidates, she was the only one taking the lead on this issue" - here is a story from 2010 about Bachmann taking on QE2 and stating very clearly that it will cause inflation...

"Rep. Michele Bachmann, head of the House Tea Party Caucus, tells Newsmax that the Federal Reserve’s plan to increase the money supply by buying government securities is a “huge mistake” that will boost inflation and amount to “stealing from the American people.”

Of course, all palinistas are free to ignore yet another fact.

From the MoneyNews article regarding Bachmann [emphasis mine]:
Bachmann agrees with many Republican economists who have joined Sarah Palin in urging Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to cease and desist with “quantitative easing” — the $600 billion plan to buy government securities in an effort to spur the economic recovery.

Meaning, Bachmann only voiced this in response to Palin shining a light on it.

The Freedom's Lighthouse article regarding Romney was in reference to the "stimulus", not the Fed's QE program.

Granted, Paul was specifically referring to Fed policy, so you're 1-for-3.

As I have often pointed out on this board both Palin and Bachmann have been the most outspoken voices against Obama and the Democrats for the past couple of years.

QE2/inflation is just another example.
