How Tom Price decided chartered, private jets were a good use of taxpayer money
https://www.washingtonpost.com/nati...tories-2_tompriceflights-120am:homepage/story
We had a guy like that- entitled to his entitlements- It did not go over well to say the least
Now Price is a very, very important man.
Your opinion - is he wasting taxpayers dollars?
Or do you agree with this spending?

After Tom Price was sworn in as health and human services secretary, the Georgia Republican faced an inconvenience known to millions of Americans: His flight was delayed, an aide said, and he was forced to spend hours at an airport. The delay left Price a no-show at an early public appearance his office helped plan.
Price knew well the pain of flying to and from Washington as a member of Congress for 12 years. But now he was the head of a trillion-dollar federal agency and one of President Trump’s point men to fulfill the campaign promise of repealing the Affordable Care Act. Flight delays and no-shows would not do.
So began a practice in Price’s office of turning to private, chartered jet travel, aides say, to ferry the Cabinet official to and from meetings around the country — often at a cost to taxpayers of thousands, or even tens of thousands of dollars, per trip.
