It is quite simple actually. It all goes back to the Reagan administration and the great budget cuts.All of which was done in such a way that it would take next to forever to fix it ,or undo the damage.That is if anybody really wants to go there .Oh and the power that was handed down through bureaucratic channels. David Stockman ring a bell or two ?
How bout those young republicans of the 1980's .Party reform all that.
It all goes straight back to Reagonomics.
And how they all miss that soooo much.
Oh and people are living longer these days and that cost's a lot too.
Ask any long standing republican.
They screwed up everything everywhere and permeated a followup system /methods to drive the shaft into the populace to no seeming end..
Ronnie did, the young republican reform party hero.
And you know where they are now right ?
It's not just the veterans administration branch of government that is sadly broken and abused-is it- /?
Secret lists and cooking books and destroying files and all that.
And going paperless and records get lost in the action and people forgotten.
Indeed the system is broken.
And the bad ones keep it broken and receive bonus's for their deeds done.
You have to take into consideration the two sided coin same on both sides, in order to accomodate a side the other side must be robbed, in other words rob Peter to pay Paul,that's how it works. The republicans know how it works ,that is why they voted against increasing the budget. They believe the system in place(Reagonomics) will handle it. Thing of it is, people/voters are not supposed to see that,not actually .
Ok so the VA, if one is not currently active in the system,or hasn't been for a length of time,or not in the system at all, such individuals are the very lowest of priority-or person's non grada.
And that's the side of the coin that don't count. That's admin.stuff. And the budget. Cooking books and secret lists is covering tracks. And of course that is criminal activity.
In order to prosecute that it is necessary to find where it began in order to bring it to an end.
Clearly the republicans are confident that will never happen.
And so finger pointing cause elections are not far off. The republicans will try to place the blame of all the damage done by republicans on the democrates.
Reagonomics. The public has a short memory and all that jazz.
