The VA has averaged a $500 million surplus for the last 4 years. This is what happens when incompetent liberal democrats don't know how to manage a program. Another inconvenient truth....... Any more idiotic comments? |

Most every first world country has a single-payer health care system, and they're all much better than our current mess.So are you trying to argue that America is inherently inferior? That it just can't possibly do as well as Canada? Or maybe you just forgot that medicare exists. |

So you're going with the "America is inherently inferior" argument? Don't let ChicagoMotorman hear you!Medicare works a hell of a lot better than private insurance, and it would work a hell of a lot better than it does now if you people would stop trying to sabotage it. If you're trying to claim that the existence of criminals taking advantage of a system means it's "failed," then government and private property are both impossible utopian dreams and we should abolish both. According to your article, Medicare and Medicaid collectively lost $98 billion through fraud. Private insurance companies lost $174 billion— and that's not counting the $11 billion they stole from the health care system in "profits" to pay their parasitical shareholders. |

Okay....so you posted a link about Virginia's surplus....then caught the mistake.What do all the articles on Medicaid and Medicare fraud, which does exist and they're quite good at catching, seeing a constant stream of news about caught fraudsters, do with it? You make no point at all. The topic is the Veterans Administration system. It's independent and underfunded. They can't hire enough doctors. The problem here is Congress. Lose a few unwanted military pork projects and spend the money on vets. Time to meet the existing obligations for once, redboys. |

Posted by Nilet on Sat May 31 09:28:51 2014, in response to Re: Shinseki ''Resigns'', posted by bingbong on Sat May 31 09:16:07 2014. Okay....so you posted a link about Virginia's surplus....then caught the mistake.I'm not sure it was a mistake. I think it was a bait and switch of sorts— offer a link to an article in a respectable source which is irrelevant due to being about a completely different topic, then swap it for an article which is on the correct topic but made irrelevant by being bullshit from a right wing extremist propaganda outlet, and hope we'd inadvertently combine the message of the second link with the respectability of the first. It's a little bit like the mortgage scammers who duped the entire finance industry by selling packages containing 5% legitimate mortgages that would likely be paid off and 95% million-dollar mortgages to junkies that would be defaulted within a few years and using the legitimacy of the former to mask the stench of the latter in a manner so slipshod that it wouldn't fool anyone except the bank CEOs that mtk52983 thinks deserve multi-million dollar salaries for their "success." Lose a few unwanted military pork projects and spend the money on vets. Like the wars? Can we lose the wars? Better yet, let's recover as much of the money already spent on the wars as we can by forcing arms dealers and military contractors who profited from the war to reimburse the government for it. Time to meet the existing obligations for once, redboys. What? But that's the Democrats' job! That's how it works— Republicans get elected, Republicans make a giant mess, Democrats point to the mess and get elected, then the Republicans point to the mess and declare the Democrats haven't cleaned it up fast enough or effectively enough so they should be put back in office. It works really well, though the strategy might be less effective if the Democrats actually made even a cursory effort to try cleaning up the mess. |

Mistake or not, I prefer to provide enough rope.The bush wars were funded on debt, so ther's no fiscal benefit to ending them. Aside from having our young people home instead of accumulating more debt in extneding the bushwars, There's a large number of unwanted military projects that can be cut to fund the VA. One benefit of ending the bushwars is that the flow of new seriously injured patients will subside. The military needs to be reconfigured to be able to focus on the types of action we see more often now than a massive European war. They know it and everyone else but the redboys know it. |

But when it involes my parents, that is over the line. And apparently, even though I do respect Selkirk and Bingbong, it disturbs me that they condone such behavior. I am not here unlike you to win or lose, but I'm afraid that a certain indivisual has won. He is uncouth, has a potty mouth, and is very articulate. He has won. I'm not so pissed at him, as I am for the others here that condone such things. Namely Selkirk and Bingbong. |

Then tell me about how all leaders have a divine right to rule. Next, you can explain how smallpox is still a major worldwide problem, which is covered up by a UN conspiracy. Then you can tell me how everything in the 21st century was evil. And since I've clearly been bamboozled by the influence of big government, you can then tell me what form of government you would endorse, in more detail than "small," if you please. I eagerly await your instruction, O Great Educator! |

Considering that we spend more on our military than every other country in the world combined, I think there's plenty of room for cuts.In fact, there's not a lot of room for military. Conventional wars are more or less obsolete; today's threats come from hackers, economic approaches, and criminals, none of which can be solved by sending soldiers to occupy them. |
