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. ]

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.

Here is the story with the rest. This is not isolated it is common practice Rachel Maddow reports on the latest in a remarkable list of Trump administration departures, this time of HHS secretary Tom Price, disgraced for his abuse of expensive private planes, though not the only Donald Trump staffer with that problem |
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.
