That's what I don't get. If he's trying to kill health care, what is he flying around the country to promote? |
He appears to be promoting his work life balance. He squeezed in a clinic tour before visiting his son for lunch in a 5 hour trip to Tennessee that cost us taxpayers 15K for his private ride on a Lear Jet. |
This report claims that Trump is irritated with Price over this issue, but it doesn't seem to be a firing offense for now.

No "sons of bitches" tweeting for his own employees, I guess. Hipocrisy pays the bills after all. |
+1 What's a few hundred thou in private planes amongst friends? Mere chump change funded by the American people. |

I'm trying to parse out Tom Price's statement that he will reimburse taxpayers for "his seat" on the charter jets. I'm guessing he had at least 10 people with him for each trip. So instead of paying the $300K that his choices to travel on the private plane cost, he'll end up reimbursing the US Government $30K? That's being really cheap given that the other 9 people could have flown commercial were it not for his expensive tastes. |
His private plane travel cost 400k. But I agree that if he ends up paying the cost of his seat alone, it's just a slap on the wrist. |
Trump is going to let this scumbag keep his job? I assume it's because nobody else wants the gig. |
He's only paying $50k of the $300k! "NEW: Senior HHS source says that HHS secretary Tom Price will specifically pay $51,887.31 over useage of a private plane." |
He should go to jail. Thief! |
What would happen to any normal civil servant who cost the US Government $350K (400K-the 50K he's paying back)? He certainly wouldn't be allowed to just pay back a fraction and keep his job. Disgusting. #this is not what draining the swamp looks like |
In a normal administration, he would be fired. I can't believe he's only paying back a fraction of the plane costs. |
Kellyanne rode with him on his private plane from DC to Philly. Will she be reimbursing the US Taxpayers for her seat on the plane? |
Gross. |
