your solution is that the system is shit but it is all they got so they should be happy?
How about 2 years ago, congress should have authorized that Vets can get private treatment if the wait times at the VA were too long. Oh wait, that would have been too easy. So, 2 years down the road, thousands more dead vets who were ignored and not given what they were promised by the government.
One of the reasons why the GOP is so fucking pathetic. They could have fixed this.
My point, monkey brain, was that the VA did experience terrible shortfalls in care. I think you were reminding us of how VA officials put out false information stating that things were going swimmingly well. It all blew up in the president's and heads of the defense department's faces. The secretary of defense resigned in disgrace and other officials have since been replaced. So, here we go again. False information was eventually uncovered and people were held accountable. In other words, falsified reports eventually come to light and malfeasance is punished. This actually proves my point that those government audits of the FDA's efficiency in delivering food aid is no small thing. Off-handedly calling it a lie is a lie in itself.
That said, the correct answer to my question is that by a large margin, veterans don't want the VA dismantled. They want it to be run well, which is one of the things Obama has made happen. Given the size of the problem, much still remains to be done. But veterans by and large don't want the VA dismantled. Neither do I.
Tell me oh one of small mind and empty head, where has it been reported that over the past two years thousands of veterans have died due to negligence in VA hospitals?
As far as GOP oversight goes, expecting leaders who believe government can do no good to be good leaders of government is foolish.
