There are a lot of hard working tax payer’s money being use for absolutely nothing. Just last Friday, Health and Human Services secretary Tom Price put in a resignation letter and resign after IG (Inspector General) got involved when he chose to use private planes to travel around the country at a cost of what appears to be $300,000. Why in the world he didn’t use his own money or catch the train or even hire someone to drive, no it is easier using other people’s money than your own. The Health and Human Services inspector general is reviewing all private and charter plane use by this man we call and our President Trump selected

Tom Price formerly known as the Cabinet member of the President of the United States of America as of Friday 30Sept17 has resigned from office officially. He was being investigated for his use of funds to travel to location that would have been less cost effective if he would have just taking a train. During his short time of being in office as an cabinet member with the less amount of time as the Health and Human Service worker, he has manage to use up countless amounts of money while help to contributed to the financial debt American is in. Yet Mr. Price can only say to us all the people they he in fact he will reimburse us in full our tax paying dollars. While this has been a huge shock to America to most like myself this in fact was not. Government official has been stealing tax payers dollars for years and it just so happen they paid it back before getting caught. So as of Friday 30 September 2017 my current Commander and Chief Donald Trump has in fact appointed Mr. Don J. Wright in the seat in the cabinet to represent the HHS (Heath and human Services) department. All information relating to the above resource or can be found at; (ALEXANDER, RYAN.
