The High Price Of Flight!

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price apologizes for using taxpayer money for his private flights. The controversy has riled up Donald Trump.

The Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price is under fire for using private jets totaling up to almost $1.5 million.

Price is a licensed orthodontic physician.

Price who was then a congressman from Georgia was complaining about lawmakers and Obama administration officials taking private jets.

Now as one of the top officials inside the inept leader Donald J. Trump's inner circle, Price is held to a higher standard. And that standard includes being on a fiscally conservative budget. I guess Price thought he could get away with it now that he's and top-tier position.

Price and his wife Betty used military jets approved by the White House. These trips totalled $500 thousand in expenses.

The domestic and overseas flights have cost taxpayers money. As a lawmaker, Price was complaining constantly about then president Barack Obama going on vacation.

Now that Trump is in office, nothing matters anymore. The Trumpeter can get as a pass. Matter of fact, Trump overspent the Secret Service budget in one year alone.

Matter fact you're not hearing about Tom Price on Fox News right now. Fox News is more concerned about NFL players taking a knee.

Trump was not happy about the news. Trump hasn't said anything much other than he is very upset about the whole controversy and he will deal with Price in an accordingly matter.

Price has pledge to reimbursed the government for his use of military and private jets.

Treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin and EPA director Scott Pruitt are also facing controversy for taking private jets on taxpayer expense.

Not to mention that Jared Kushner, Steve Bannon, Reince Priebus, Ivanka Trump, Stephen Miller and Gary Cohen used private email. They are facing scrutiny for this also.

Fun fact: Democrat Jon Ossoff came very close to taking the seat once held by Price. Republican Karen Handel was victorious in a normally safe seat. She won by 5 points. Price won the seat by 26 points. Rep. Handel (R-GA) will face a rematch against Ossoff.
