I think Price is expendable at this point. There were big plans for him and what he was going to do as Sec to modify obamacare regs under his authority, then to further express input on whatever legislation got signed. He is out the door, as far as I am concerned.
I agree with you; at least Tillerson at State has trimmed back some excessive offices and jobs; Zilke at Interior has cut down on the national monuments named by Obama; Pruitt at EPA has drawn back on employment and needless enviro regs; Ross at Commerce is energetically going after unfair trade practices; and Mattis at DoD has at least cut the restrictions on what troops in the field need approval for. Price? I can’t think of a thing he’s accomplished at HHS, other than to travel fancy at taxpayer expense. He needs to go, resign tonight, for a lot of reasons.
