President Trump has accepted HHS Secretary Tom Price's resignation, White House says

quote [ HHS Secretary Tom Price's high-priced flights on charter and military aircraft have led him to resign, leaving President Trump with another job opening.

President Trump accepted Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price's resignation Friday, the White House announced.

Even before he was confirmed by a party-line 52-47 vote in the Senate, Price had stirred controversy for his series of trades in stocks affected by legislation he introduced in Congress. ]

Down goes Price!

He's blown around a million bucks on air travel in a few months.

This guy was obviously corrupt when he was confirmed to the job, and he's been busy trying to do as much damage as possible to US health care, so this is kind of a win. I don't know if Trump can find someone even worse, tho he'll try.

Isn't this the guy whose wife said that it was okay, because they pay more tax than most other people.

I didn't know that was how government tax systems worked.

I think that was the wife of one of the other corrupt cabinet officials.

phooey. I wanted to figure out how much tax I've paid in my lifetime, and then bill them for it.
