A Serious Numbers Problem in the Pigford Settlement Case

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann took to the House Floor today to urge her colleagues to vote against the Claims Resolution Act which would spend $1.2 billion on the Pigford Case even though it contains serious allegations of fraud. 94,000 black farmers have filed cases of discrimination, but according to the National Black Farmers Association's own data, only 18,000 black farmers exist in the United States. She would like to see justice exercised for anyone truly discriminated against, but first an investigation should occur because the numbers simply don't add up.

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

It really amazes me when people are so caught up in their democrat party or in their leftist ideology that they can't just stop for once and admit when there is a scam to steal the people's money and to destroy the republic.

Pay to play Chicago style politics and wealth redistribution. Hey, did anyone notice Rep Bachmann did not have to use a TelePrompTer? Impressive!

So where did these 76,000 phantom black farmers come from all of a sudden? More importantly, why hasn't the media focused on them, and even more importantly (if that's possible) Why hasn't any of these Government officials been held accountable for the discrimination?

@rts4761 I agree with you, but what does that have to do with this subject?

[CalicoatMaker]

@luckycharmz336 Uh, Where do you get the extremely misdated (and factually incorrect) idea that the constitution was to balance political parties that didnt exist yet?

The Constitution is a framework to protect citizens and naturals against government. Period.

She's racist if she doesnt agree, just because she uses facts to argue her case.

Disagree with the left, even if fraudulent lies = racism

Disagreement = hate

Seriously, though, she has more brains and balls than a zombie basketball game.
