Of course, you morons didn't get to take your ride on PRIVATE JETS paid for by the taxpayers, like Dumpster Boy and his swamp dwelling cronies are doing.
Price’s private-jet travel breaks precedent
HHS secretary took chartered aircraft on five flights last week, while his predecessors would fly commercial.
In a sharp departure from his predecessors, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price last week took private jets on five separate flights for official business, at a cost of tens of thousands of dollars more than commercial travel.
The secretary’s five flights, which were scheduled between Sept. 13 and Sept. 15, took him to a resort in Maine where he participated in a Q&A discussion with a health care industry CEO, and to community health centers in New Hampshire and Pennsylvania, according to internal HHS documents.
NEWSWEEK: DONALD TRUMP'S PRIVATE JET PRESIDENCY HAS NO PLANS TO DRAIN THE SWAMP
“The plane is very much an extension of the Trump brand,” Donald J. Trump told The New York Times of the Boeing 757 he took to calling “Trump Force One” during the presidential campaign. It was an outdated model and, as The Times drily noted, “an odd choice for a man who put his net worth at $11 billion.” But the craft was huge, and lined with gold on the inside, communicating to his supporters both might and prestige. It was a jalopy, but it did the trick.
Given Trump’s goofy fixation on private jets as a symbol of luxury, it should come as no surprise that an astonishing number of his cabinet members are now ensnared in scandals involving air travel, whether on private or civilian planes: Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is in the mix, too, though for slightly different reasons.
What we have is a Private Jet Presidency, a low-class orgy of first-class kleptocrats. Remember when people thought Trump would usher in an era of American totalitarianism? Remember when credible, serious people compared Trump to some of the 20th century’s worst dictators? If they were wrong, it is only because they, like the people who voted for Trump, believed what Trump said. How foolish. Even if Trump did yearn for some American version of the Third Reich, as more than a few liberals feared, realizing that vision would take immense dedication, something neither Trump nor his minions have. The president obsesses over ratings, while his underlings grab what they can before Bobby Three Sticks (Robert S. Mueller III to you and me) starts handing out indictments like parking tickets.
TIME: Watchdog: Steven Mnuchin and Wife May Have Used Government Plane to Watch the Eclipse
Watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has requested government records about the costs and purpose of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s trip to Lexington, Ky. during the solar eclipse on Monday.
The trip caused a week of controversy for the couple after Linton sparked an online frenzy by posting a photo on Instagram with hashtags touting various designer brands. Then an Instagram user criticized her, saying: “Glad we could pay for your little getaway. #deplorable.” Linton lashed out at the commenter, calling her “adorably out of touch” and saying she and her husband paid more taxes and sacrificed more than the woman.
Now, CREW is suggesting Mnuchin and Linton’s trip — during which Mnuchin spoke at an event with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell — may have been planned to allow them to view the eclipse rather than strictly for government business. The group filed a Freedom of Information Act request for “copies of all records concerning authorization for and the costs of Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin’s use of a government plane to travel to Lexington, Kentucky on Monday, August 21, accompanied by his wife Louise Linton.”

Can anyone imagine the volume of the howls that would be coming out of these right-wing hypocrites if this had happened under Obama or any other Democrat administration?????
Unbelievable.
