In discussing the growing national debt in a late-night special order speech on Tuesday, the always entertaining Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., declared that the president’s plan is the “kind of plan we could have watched last weekend on TNT.”
How’s that? Well, explained Bachmann, she was watching the movie “Titanic” last weekend with her family. And boy, she thought, was it ever an apt analogy for the president’s economic policy.
“As the ice ripped that hole in the Titanic, water started being taken on, and the engineer came out and brought the blueprint blueprint of the Titanic,” Bachmann said. “Water came into the first chamber, spilled onto the second chamber, spilled over to the third, and by the time it filled up so many chambers, it was over. It was impossible to resurrect that ship.”
That’s the danger we’re facing, she cautioned. And, if we’re not careful, “a lot of very innocent people may go down with that ship.”
