HHS Secretary Tom Price Resigns Over Private Charter Flights

So it goes.

President Trump for days has given indications he was considering firing Price over the plane controversy. Shortly before the brief White House statement late Friday, the president told reporters, "He's a very fine man, but we’re going to make a decision sometime tonight."

In 2013, it was revealed that Eric "Golden Wings" Holder used private charters for strictly personal travel -- and billed it to the US government -- but no one cared about that, except FoxNews.

If Trump wants some populist points, make an Executive Order that no private planes in the Executive Branch besides Air Force One.

100 46 ObamaCare is here to say unless 2018 nets some new Republican Senators.

It's just personal now, 3+ Senators have decided this is where they are going to stick it to Trump. And Trump has no leverage over them.

101 I also thought Price's offer to pay for his air travel was ridiculous. Right when I heard that I knew it was going to be bullshit. No way would he write that check.

It turned out he was using a calculation for his seat only.

104 'I still think even bad Senators can be bullied.'

Do it the way OCare was rammed through by the Dems--coercive threats and bribery.

You can't vote for the bill? I'm sorry, there go your state funding and plum committee assignments.

If we had a Majority leader to work with Trump rather than obstruct him, that's how it would go down.

Believe or not, that is SOP for DC elite. They never pay full freight for the cost of the actual flight, they usually pay the cost of a coach seat on a commercial flight.

Yeah, he should have been executed on the spot. People like this need to be eliminated, not "cured" and released back into the public. Hasan especially should have been killed on the spot. Why isn't Tsarnaev dead yet?

They are more like rabid animals than people.

Did it ever occur to this genius that another Dylan Roof could continue the cycle of violence and use him as the justification? Lethal force was justified. He should have been executed on the spot.
