See Ya Tom Price

HHS Secretary Tom Price resigned Friday in the face of multiple federal inquiries and growing criticism of his use of private and government planes for travel, at a cost to taxpayers of more than $1 million since May.

The White House said the former seven-term Georgia congressman, 63, offered his resignation earlier in the day and that President Donald Trump had accepted it.

Bet that's a million the taxpayers will never see again.

He offered to repay $51,000, after spending over a mil. Must be that Betsy DeVos math...

Time for Pruitt, Zinke and Mnuchin to resign as well. Drain the swamp!

You can say that again. Instead draining the swamp, a cesspool has been created in it's place.

May we expect Trump to pay back half of the expenses incurred on his 63 golf trips?

Golf? Wait, he said many times on the campaign trail that, unlike Obama, he'd be way too busy "winning" to spend any time on the links.

Little more than eight months in and this administration is failing. Lock 'em up!

Prediction: no tax bill will pass. The R's will not be able to agree on how rotten to make it. Absent leadership, no deal will come together.

VA chief also under scrutiny for personal travel expenses billed to you & I. The entire corrupt Trump administration, from the top down, needs to go.
