Eh, the real scandal is his contempt for the sick and poor as a physician.

To be a republican is to be a scumbag these days

It truly is.

I was a longtime GOP voter.  Never again.

Do you know how much DeVos has charged the Feds for travel since she started the job?  $184 for a round trip Amtrack ticket to NYC and back.  No cars, no hotels, nothing.  Of course she is stupid rich, but so are most people that high in govt, yet she seems to be one of the few to pay for their own travel.

That's one of the few things that can be said in her favor.

Her family's net worth is close to what Trump claims his is. Yet he misses no opportunity to skim the taxpayer for a few more $$$. #FakeBillionare #FakePresident

Good of him to do. Of course, he shouldn’t have been in that situation in the first place.

I chalk it up to austere Midwestern Dutch Calvinist versus nouveau riche outer borough sociopath.

Most Cabinet members don't have a family plane, though, which she does

Only after being dragged kicking and screaming.  "Good" would be if he did it on his own before the story broke or better yet, didn't use private jets.

I think the reason why her expenses are so low is because its not like she is really doing any more travel than she is used to. She is used to flying around via private plane or helicopter weekly, so its not like she is going to start charging the government for that. I guess kudos for that, but she is still a terrible SoE.

they have money, they can fly like the rest of us....they ain't special.

If you're worth millions and claim to be working for the working class, and let the govt pay to fly you around....you're piece of sh**t and the people that vote for you are fools.

I agree 100%. That's meant as an endorsement of her using her own plane, not an indictment
