On Sept. 21, Politicoreported that Price took private charter planes when inexpensive commercial options were available. These private flights reportedly ended up costing the public more than $300,000.

On Thursday, after learning that Price also frequently took military jets for travel abroad, Politicoadjusted the cost to taxpayers to over $1 million.
Price has vowed to pay back the government for the cost of his seats on the planes. But his promise of $52,000 doesn't quite stand up to the total "price" tag. Heh.

Fortunately for us, the internet never forgets. And these self-righteous tweets about "reckless spending" are definitely not a good look.

President Trump is reportedly unhappy with Price, and there is speculation that the secretary may not last long in his post due to his travel spending.
His termination as HHS secretary may indeed be justified - especially if Trump decides to take Price's own advice:
