The most frightening nine words spoken:

I'm from the government and I'm here to help.... Ronald Reagan

My father a WWII vet complained about the VA and refused to go to the VA hospital claiming if he did he'd come out dead.

So the poor performance of the VA goes back following WWII.

It would be naive' to believe that presidents senators congressman were not informed about the deplorable conditions and the poor management administration after administration

This issue is not about party affiliations its about the failure of our government officials each and every one of them

The federal government has become too big. Allowing public unions bargaining rights is plain nuts because incompetence abounds while salaries and benefits growing out of control.
Politicians reward public union increases in exchange for votes and the tax payers continue to foot the bill.

Several public pension plans are on the precipice and it doesn't take much imagination to figure who politicians will turn to for a bail out.

As government continues to grow it becomes more complex more redundant and less responsive to people's needs.

The government must be streamlined many Departments eliminated and Public Union bargaining abolished . In my view the IRS Treasury, FED and a number of other departments need to be audited

As a vet I made a choice not to apply for VA benefits because I had reliable insurance and because I would not step in front of a vet who fought and was wounded in war. Yet we have some vet's who felt entitled to freebies because they served for four years and most probably like me stateside

And for what it is worth 50% of the vets today who claim PSTD never left the states...meaning that the all volunteer army recruited a lot of guys who had emotional issues before they were recruited...again not ALL

I stopped long ago defending any one party or politician because its a fools errand . I stopped long ago believing politicians promises because they are never kept

Politicians become more brazen each and every election cycle and their truth is not your truth but they pull it off because they know most voters are just not thinking but emoting
