Bachmann is a member of the House Financial Services Committee Michele Bachmann is a member of the House Financial Services Committee. This would appear to be a perfect opportunity for her to demonstrate her expertise about predatory lending practices in the financial services industry. We know she has a lot of friends in that business because that’s where most of her campaign contributions came from. Why isn’t she participating? Is she too busy protecting us from the Iraq State of Islam?
