The cabinet's casually imprudent use of taxpayer money induces white hot rage. What sort of obtuse shitheads are they that they can't see how upset people would be? Price isn't the only one living a baller lifestyle on the taxpayer dime. I get these people are wealthy and accustomed to luxury travel but when you ACCEPT A POSITION IN PUBLIC SERVICE you ought to know that when you're operating on the public dime, you will be frugal and responsible with the people's money. Get your ass back to coach with everyone else.
Sweet marinara.

Bye bye don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
That is a good question about the other cabinet members and their private jet use. What about the ?

It is especially obtuse behavior from Price given his history criticising/questioning government officials use of private jets while he was a congressman and his bragging about cutting the HHS's $5 million annual travel budget. |

Funny, after 12 years in Congress he changed his tune: When he was a Georgia congressman, Price spoke out against a proposed purchase of small planes to transport government officials, including members of Congress. “This is just another example of fiscal irresponsibility run amok in Congress right now,” he told CNBC. |

Despite Having lived in Chicago, Illinois, the city and state of the dumbest and most crooked politicians, I am never ceased to be amazed at how dumb and clueless politicians can be. Particularly in today’s world where nothing is private and every move is scrutinized.

What is almost more unbelievable is how nobody in the WH noticed and/or spoke up when he was doing all this traveling. Somebody was paying the bill weren't they?

So not sorry to see this hypocrite out the door. For a doctor who swore an oath to first do no harm, he was set to leave an insane amount of damage in his wake with his budget cuts. Now we just have to worry what kind of troglodyte Trump will nominate. With any luck, it will be a week Chuck and Nancy are his buddies and they'll convince him to nominate someone not hellbent on destroying the agency they're in charge of but I'm not holding my breath.

It's actually super easy to understand.
Trump is not a stand-up, public servant kind of guy. He's corrupt, he's power-hungry, and he doesn't have the good of the American people at heart.
The type of person who would work for such a man is exactly the type that would behave like Price. A hard-working, honest, competent person is NOT going to want to have anything to do with this administration.
Trump got the kind of people who are willing to work for him. They are not good people, for the most part. There are some who are doing the job out of patriotism (Mattis), but many who are incompetent and KNOW they aren't in any way qualified. But the good ole boys network allows them to have this opportunity, and they take it because it's good for them, the rest of America be damned.

I cannot quote a source, but someone today mentioned that in 2009 Price stated something to the effect that 'public office holders should not waste the taxpayers $$$$ as in improper traveling.... Wish I knew the exact source. ETA: someone beat me to it.... Glad I wasn't dreaming... |

Given the example set by their boss regarding excessive travel and security costs, it is a wonder all of the cabinet members aren't chartering private jets or attending functions that somehow line their own pockets. The apples aren't falling far from the tree.
