Yeah well, Donald Trump put Price to the position in the first Place so...
But in all, this guy was exceptionally corrupt even for the Trump administration standards. Not only the use of Jets with taxpayer money.
Rep. Tom Price last year purchased shares in a medical device manufacturer days before introducing legislation that would have directly benefited the company.... Price bought between $1,001 to $15,000 worth of shares last March in Zimmer Biomet, according to House records reviewed by CNN. Less than a week after the transaction, the Georgia Republican congressman introduced the HIP Act, legislation that would have delayed until 2018 a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) regulation that industry analysts warned would significantly hurt Zimmer Biomet financially once fully implemented.
“Zimmer Biomet, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of knee and hip implants, was one of two companies that would have been hit the hardest by the new CMS regulation that directly impacts the payments for such procedures, according to press reports and congressional sources. After Price offered his bill to provide Zimmer Biomet and other companies relief from the CMS regulation, the company’s political action committee donated to the congressman’s reelection campaign, records show.

Well, sure, Price is (was) a swamp *creature.* What does that have to do with the *swamp?* Price was Trump's boy, unambiguously.C-Mag wrote:

What's the use in sending away one creature, when there are there are innumerable more just lurking below the swamp's surface?
Trump was not elected to play the part of Hercules, and slay the Hydra head by head. He was elected to drain Hydra's swamp. Not only no more Hydra heads -- no more Hydra. That was the talk-talk I heard, anyway.
Serious question: Since HHS is the topic of the day, if made you a congressman, and somehow the Dept of Health and Human Services did not exist, would you cast a vote to create it?

That was not my point.
Price is guilty. He needs to go. He's a career politician. I know what he did is pretty standards SOP. He needs to go, just that simple.
Never gave it much thought as to what I would do with HHS. Probably bring back the CCC. Make kids get out of their parents basements for a couple years and do some work, improve some shit around the country.

I watched Cable that night, I had never seen the ABC coverage of that. They were more in shock than CNN.Okeefenokee wrote:
I month ago I went back and looked at the texts from that night with a couple buddies........... good times.
Footnotes:
A lot of the Liberal Press made a big point of the stock markets that night. How are stocks doing right now ? Pretty Damn Good.
Also, we are just about to finish our second quarter in a row under Trump over 3% GDP growth. BHO never hit 3% once in 8 years did he.
And to close out. I'm going to have to counter with this.
