Some highlights of her and the Tea Partys suggestions are as follows: The president could stop the EPA from imposing a job-destroying cap-and-trade system. The president could support a Balanced Budget Amendment. The president could agree to an energy policy that increases American energy production and reduces our dependence on foreign oilThe president could also turn back some of the 132 regulations put in place in the last two years, many of which will cost our economy $100 million or more. And the president should repeal Obamacare and support free-market solutions, like medical malpractice reform and allowing all Americans to buy any healthcare policy they like anywhere in the United States

Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., delivered a tea party response following President Obama's State of the Union address

. .

Bachmann opposed both versions of the Wall Street bailout bill for America’s financial sector. She voted against the first proposed $700 billion bailout of financial institutions, which failed to pass 205–228. She also advocated breaking up Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and barring executives from excessive compensation or golden parachutes. However, she also advocated a plan that would suspend mark-to-market accounting rules and supported suspending the capital gains tax
