Who does Barack Obama think he is kidding when he claims that he will not tolerate long waits or other problems at hospitals overseen by Veterans Affairs? He is not fooling the veterans subjected to shoddy treatment from government-managed health care, or politicians in Congress who have known about the problems at the VA for years, have failed to fix them, and are not going to fix them now.
Both Parties Agree: Veterans Are Useful Political Tools
Veterans are an inconvenience for our government. When they have done their duty they don’t go away. Supportive programs and benefits have to be funded and administered, something Washington has trouble with. This is good for both of our political parties.
