Price’s private-jet travel breaks precedent

Price’s private-jet travel breaks precedent - POLITICO

So apparently Tom Price (Trump's health & human service secretary)--while being a big "conservative" spend less money type guy has spent around $300K since May 2017 because he refuses to take Commerical airlines, and continually charges private jets to the taxpayers tab.

Other jets don't break down, or is this the only one news worthy?

Someone needs to tell me how much of a price/cost difference there is between traveling on a private small jet and using one of the government planes...we have 17,000 according to Washington Times. Trouble might be though that the government accounting in this area as in most sucks....It might take months or years to get to the answer.

An answer anyway, we get lied to right and left.

Uhmm. .. commercial flights? You really want a person in that position taking commercial flights? I am not sure I like the idea of the exposure to risk. Can you imagine the brouhaha, if the guy is kidnapped?

First of all, like 90% of the population can't even name this guy. Nobody wants to kidnap him.

Second, exactly where in the **** in the process of a commercial airline flight would YOU try to kidnap someone? 30,000 feet when you've been screened for weapons isn't exactly optimal.

I think you're just grasping for ways to defend the Trump administration and you just failed hard.

Wait. What about the government spending multiplier we used to hear so much about?
And if you want the little girl to have cancer treatment, you are free to help pay for it. No one is stopping you are they?

I’m getting all misty eyed from your compassionate conservatism.

This actually makes sense. Price's actual goal during his tenure is to screw over as many Americans as possible on healthcare and enrich himself to the fullest extent. "Saving money" is just what he tells the gullible fake news media.

No, little girl, you don't deserve cancer treatment because your parents are poor. Maybe you should earn it like I earned my jet.

No little girl in this country who goes to any reputable hospital will be denied cancer treatment. so many of my relatives work in health care, including for big named hospitals in my region, if you need to life saving treatment and can't afford it, you will get it. you'll get put on a payment plan, or many of these hospitals have social workers on site who will verify your eligibility for medicaid, and liasons from private charities who take those cases, or you'll get charity care from the institution. this lie needs to go away. no reputable hospital in a mid size or larger American city will turn away an indigent child with cancer.

Pretty up to date cost and charge rates for the US Government fleet are here:

http://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/documents/rates/fy2016/2016_f_h.pdf

Not sure which if any of these planes are for flying officials around. I do know that the so-called journalists were claiming that the average cost of the planes cabinet officials use is $25,000/HR, but these are the so-called journalists who are an the hunt to remove the parasite so I dont put much stock on what they say.

What kind of airplane?

In any event, is price chartering a plane or using a plane the Government already owns?
