The left wants to know where is leadership when Price flys private

A roundup of editorials Friday asks why President Donald Trump’s Cabinet feels so entitled and how an “anti-waste” campaigner comes to think it’s OK to use taxpayer money to fly in private jets.

Opinions from the Left:

1. Trump's cabinet loves living large
From The Washington Post: Serving in a president's Cabinet should be enough of an honor. Pick up your own plane ticket.

2. Anti-wasteful spending HHS Secretary Tom Price billed taxpayers $400000 for private jets
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: If you are against wasteful spending, you may not want to fly around the country on the taxpayer's dime.

3. Price's pricey planes
From U.S. News and World Report: Where is the leadership when three Cabinet members are under investigation for the waste of the resources of agencies they lead?
