Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigns over his use of using private airplanes (Lear Jets). He's promised to right the goverment a reimbursement check for $52K. Problem is his tab to the US taxpayers is over $1 million.
Price is a dude that spent his entire political career prior to being named HHSS railing against excessive goverment spending. And there's a number of other Trump cabinet members in trouble for the same thing.
Drain the swamp indeed.
In other news, Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke spoke at a press conference yesterday and praised the wonderful job US were doing doing in helping the people Puerto Rico recover from Hurricane.
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz was on TV this morning calling 100% BS and almost crying out of frustration over the lack of aid as well as the mixed message that Duke was sending. The fear being that people would stop donating to the cause if they thought things were going swell.
