| Bachmann: Caring about the poor if and only if doing so scores her political points. |

What is significant is that during the same speech, Bachmann claimed she was among a group of Republicans who "voted against the sequestration because we knew all of these calamities [for poorer Americans] were in the future." There's no evidence, however, that Bachmann has ever given a rip about cuts to Head Start, Meals on Wheels, and other programs serving low-income Americans. As a result, she's earned another "Four Pinocchios" rating from the Washington Post's Fact Checker --
her second in just over a month.
