Mnuchin and his wife were under scrutiny a few weeks ago after his wife posted a photo from their trip to Kentucky of her getting off a government plane flaunting designer brands. A user responded, criticizing her for using government resources for personal trips which resulted in his wife mocking the woman for not being as wealthy as her, including a piece about the government not paying for their honeymoon. Many criticized them for going to Kentucky for the purpose of seeing the eclipse, under the guise of official government business.
It turns out they at least tried to get some government assistance with their honeymoon to Europe. They requested the use of an airforce plane, at the cost of $25k an hour to tax payers, to fly them around Europe for their personal trip.
But, it is the welfare queens with a sense of entitlement.
His wife later apologized to her credit.
