Claim: Michele Bachmann argued that "my facts are accurate" at the Dec. 15 debate, but a few days later, she got several facts wrong. On "Meet the Press" the presidential candidate had a couple of exchanges with host David Gregory over the validity of her statements on Social Security and the debt. Among the inaccuracies: Bachmann said she didn't support the payroll tax cut because "it denied $111 billion to the Social Security trust fund"and "put senior citizens at risk."
