Bachmann Interview on "Fox News Sunday"

Chris Wallace does a hard hitting interview of Michelle Bachmann, the day after this Conservative Republican Congresswoman wins the straw poll in Ames, Iowa.  She responds in a forthright "I say what I mean and mean what I say" manner, speaking from the heart and without notes.  She is the genuine front runner who spells out the need for reforms that are going to be tough to put in place but shows the determination to work with anyone and everyone who sees the problems in our country brought on, over many decades, by entrenched politicians who care less about what's right for the American People and more about personal power, influence and reelection.

Although Wallace repeatedly tries to get Bachmann to say that compromise would be needed as President and taxes would have to be raised,  Bachmann shows an understanding that revenues needed to pay for  essentials should come from cutting unnecessary expenses, which means downsizing the government; for example the Education Department, created by the Carter Administration, should be eliminated and let the States handle education.  Here alone the cost savings would be enormous - no need to raise taxes.
