Key proposals from the Republican presidential candidates might make for good campaign fodder. But independent analyses raise serious questions about those plans and their ability to cure the nation’s economic and housing woes. Bachmann, during the debate said, in an answer that mentioned 'moms' six times, said foreclosures fall most heavily on women who are 'losing their nest for their children and for their family.' She said Obama 'has failed you on this issue of housing and foreclosures. I will not fail you on this issue.'
