Good Morning, Deez!
I defended Obama's golfing, too ... in hopes it'd reduce his opportunity to destroy our Foundings.
New guy with the curious "handle,"
Despite my aforementioned "laid-up" status, I've not paid any attention to what's happening. Sounds like you may be referring to a WING of aircraft used to transport a lot of different folks in the interest of government operations ... and a Cabinet-level Secretary is certainly sufficient to secure such transportation ... and all of 'em have been doing it for ... well, as long as the outfit in Andrews has been in existence. This is their mission. They have a bevy of aircraft and several aircraft types.
Check 'em
out!
Like most things government, there's a legitimate need ... and then that need gets abused into illegitimate uses. Like Dirty Harry, I'm an equal opportunity hater in this regard.
What's tragically humorous ... I knew a guy who was applying to this outfit during the 2008 primaries. Back when #HisSilentinBengHazi had yet to earn her name and was ... similarly ... the presumed favorite to become the Dem nominee to "restore order" to 8 years of the evil party's activity. I told this fella he'd have to watch-out ... he corrected me by advising Slick Willie would be able to "order" a different aircraft type. To which I responded ... yeah, but not his interns. "You'll be the pimp mobile operating out of Van Nuys" The look on his face was priceless.
Of course, I was poking the good chap who has served with distinction and honor ... but at the time, he WAS under the command of these kinds of people.
I can tell you this, if the "Health & Human Services" Secretary had the opportunity to be "the party" for that flying outfit ... that means a LOT of others (incl Pentagon and Congress) have been "staying home" to avail the resources to this HHS Secretary. That position doesn't command airlift ... consider that office a "standby" customer. He doesn't have "walk-up" privileges.
So, while I am unsurprisingly disappointed in what's an apparent abuse of office, like Deez, I'm also aware of "private jets" for government officials being codified in the Law ... which happened under a particular president; hint, the date is in the wiki article.
Your motivation for your inferred allegation to participants in this section of HornFans is somewhat curious to me ... as is your screen name.
