Discussion: Politico: Price's Penchant For Private Jets Cost More Than $300K Since May

$300,000. That’s about 1000 months of health care insurance subsidies. I wonder if we could break that down into number of lives? But it’s from the HHS budget, like that’s not taxes. That money falls from trees every autumn.

Republicans will explode the debt. It’s not free money. It’s not somebody else’s problem.

The economic gods will have their retribution, conservatives, sooner than you think.

In any other administration, he would be fired for this.

Price: $300K is nothing. We will save billions when we gut ObamaCare. I am entitled to my share.

But “Benghazi, Fast and Furious gunrunning, Solyndra and green energy subsidies for campaign donors, cash for Iranian hostages, IRS targeting of conservative groups, spying on journalists, Hillary Clinton’s private email server, the Veterans Administration disaster, trading deserter Bowe Bergdahl for five Taliban leaders held in Guantánamo, droning American citizens without due process, and firing inspector general Gerald Walpin for investigating an Obama crony who was abusing federal programs. And that list isn’t exhaustive.”

It is SO important to take back the house in 2018 - 24 seats. The average has been like 40-50 seats won first midterm for opposing party after an election. 24 is doable. Then Price’s stock market shenanigans and other abuses can be investigated. I always hated how the GOP always clogged up congress with investigations during Clinton & Obama’s admins. I won’t feel bad now - there will actually be many, many things to investigate.

Yes, we do very much need a Posh Price meme on social media with appropriate photoshopped image.

Hypocrite (per public rantings as a congressman against much smaller expenditures), who as a doctor has forsaken his Hippocratic oath.

Not only are you undermining the private markets per Obamacare, you are also favoring tax measures to encourage employers to drop offering coverage - pushing those employees into the choice of no health care, or the blown up private markets.

Kudos, you seem to be a have a primary position in the Basket of Deprlorables.

Tell that to Mnuchin and Missus.

Much like Trump warned himself against literally everything he’s doing wrong now.

No wonder they think so much of the federal government’s spending is just their holy trinity “Fraud, Waste, and Abuse.” They think everybody involved with the federal government thinks and acts like they do.

He demeans my profession. Not only is he a spendthrift with taxpayer dollars when it comes to his own comfort and penchant for luxury, but he cites those very taxpayer dollars when he tries to withdraw healthcare from millions.

Paying taxes is painful. But I’d a helluva lot rather my money go to pay for physical therapy for kids or cancer care than so an already-rich orthopedic surgeon can fly on a private jet for free. :rage:

Yup. But in this admin, he probably gets an attaboy from ol Donboy for mastering the art of using OPM (other people’s money) to fund the luxurious lifestyle which you have decided you deserve.

Shoot: Future HHS Sec. Ned Flanders had an iddly-diddly conniption fit — accusing Pelosi of doing this — even when she didn’t do it.

Factcheck.org and others showed the 2009 “scandal” of Pelosi doing what all other House Speakers had done a bogus story. But stupid, corrupt MSM media (meaning this ass-hat from CNBC) gave Price play for it anyway. Watch and see what an astounding hypocrite Price is. (h/t to the TPM commenter who put this on another thread)
