Are my tax dollars paying for Michele Bachmann's migraine meds?
And, paying for her to skip votes when she's incapacitated?

That's some real welfare queen bullshit.

3. Yup. You're also paying big bucks to subsidize her so-called "family farm".

4. My guess is that it will also pay for her meds long after she's out of office too. nm

5. They're paying for more than that: They pay for her lifestyle.
Through various subsidies, not to mention her paycheck.
