More Part D Corruption

user-pic

There is already a long list of Republican corruption in using taxpayer money to promote their Part D disaster. But the latest story to break involves HHS Secretary Mike Leavitt using a private plane that was leased to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for emergencies to instead visit over 90 cities to promote Part D. Its estimated that this misuse of the plane has cost taxpayers more than $700,000 since January. To make matters even worse, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that Leavitt’s use of the plane meant it was unavailable during 2 actual emergencies. It seems that this administration will stop at nothing to sell and promote their prescription drug debacle. No amount of taxpayer money is too much for this administration to waste when there are elections to be won. This abuse of power is truly disgusting.
