Price’s private-jet travel breaks precedent

quote [ In a sharp departure from his predecessors, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price last week took private jets on five separate flights for official business, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars more than commercial travel. ]

Your tax dollars at work.

This new administration is a whole different beast altogether.

Our company work with companies that work with health companies that work with CMS, so we also get emails from both CMS and HHS admins. Both Price and Verma frequently send out company wide emails without having them checked by their staff first. So there are a lot of recalled emails. It's like they are compensating and trying to show that they are doing something, trying to look busy all the time. And Price's traveling. Almost every email he sends is about him being in another country or some other part of the country. It's not just the charter planes. He's traveling a lot more than the previous secretary.

Fiscal responsibility in government!

I've always maintained that the Republican obsession with supposed government overreach is more self-revealing than condemning: they think, "If I were in power, I would abuse it, so surely everyone else currently does."

It's like the folks who think atheists are all rapists and murderers because they don't have God to keep em in line. If Imaginary Sky Daddy is all that keeps you from raping and murdering, you got issues.

In unrelated news, l'shanah tovah everyone!

They knew who and what he was before they hired him...congress knew and confirmed him anyway. They need him to dismantle the ACA.

Trump’s head of the Department of Health and Human Services traded stocks of health-related companies while working on legislation affecting the firms. A source says Bharara was overseeing an investigation. The White House didn't immediately comment.

Any of this sound familiar...obstruction of justice doesn't have to be concerning a crime you committed.
