On Thursday, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price apologized for spending hundreds of thousands of dollars of taxpayer money to make dozens of trips around the country on chartered private jets. Price waited days to express contrition, and seemingly only did so because President Donald Trump suggested his job was on the line. “We’ll see,” Trump said, when asked whether he would fire Price over the flights. Price promised to repay taxpayers and released a bizarre non-apology in which he came oh-so-close to admitting that his concern for taxpayers is just a pose. “I regret the concerns this has raised regarding the use of taxpayer dollars,” the statement read. “All of my political career I’ve fought for the taxpayers. It is clear to me that in this case, I was not sensitive enough to my concern for the taxpayer.”

Price was being characteristically weaselly, but it didn’t end there. He also said that he would pay $51,887.30 for the flights. If that seems like a suspiciously low figure for numerous private jet flights, that’s because it is. Far from reimbursing taxpayers, Price is still ripping them off. It was then revealed that Price and his wife used military aircraft to make several overseas trips, at a cost of $500,000 to taxpayers. In contrast, Kathleen Sebelius, who served as HHS secretary under Barack Obama, did not use military aircraft once during her tenure.

But while Price’s brazen use of taxpayer money for luxury travel is notable, it’s hardly the exception in Trump’s Washington. The worry heading into Trump’s presidency is that he and his shifty children would funnel foreign money and taxpayer money into their hotels, properties, and golf clubs. Thus far, that fear has been well borne out: Foreign government officials and lobbyists are making themselves at home at Trump International Hotel and Mar-a-Lago, while Democratic lawmakers are trying to pass a law that would bar taxpayer dollars from being used to lodge members of the executive branch at properties owned by Trump and his family.

But the focus on Trump’s incentives for financial malfeasance, as well as the inordinate amount of attention he receives for doing anything, have distracted from a cabinet that is just as crooked and that’s taking every conceivable opportunity to stuff their pockets, deceive taxpayers, and rewrite policy for their own benefit.

Though egregious, the private plane scandal is largely in keeping with Tom Price’s whole deal. He has made a fuss for his entire career about the irresponsibility of government spending. At the same time, he has repeatedly appeared to use his office for financial gain. Price’s nomination to HHS hit turbulence when a number of financial scandals were uncovered.
