Bachmann warns Iowans about mounting debt
Sixth District Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has begun testing the political waters in Iowa with a warning about mounting government debt.
During a speech Friday night in Des Moines, Bachmann told members of the group Iowans for Tax Relief that "America is under a greater attack now that ever before." It was her first Iowa trip since reports of her possible interest in running for president in 2012.
