Obama’s cabinet secretaries flew commercial or took the train, with a few, rare exceptions that were approved at the highest level, but Trump’s aptly named Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price sure loves to charter private jets and bill them to the US government.
Last week, Price chartered five jets, including flights that took off and landed at the same time as commercial flights to and from the same airport.
Price was flying to industry summits where he was discussing his policies with industry executives, which his spokesman described as “meet[ing] face to face with the American people to hear their thoughts and concerns firsthand.”
Price has announced plans to cut “hundreds of billions” in spending on health and housing. He calls this making “tough choices.”
