Can't argue with stupid, but can with logic. In his case, his logic is stupid and you can't argue with him.

If you seriously wanted to blame folks for VA, when it comes to money, there are 600 congressman who need new jobs. If you want to blame policy, then you should be satisfied that the President will be new next year. Congress makes laws, and has the purse strings. They could if they wanted to take up government work laws and even fight the union in court. Note neither have happened, being it would directly affect them. In regards to the POTUS and his choice in secretary, he's a vet, a ring knocker, and led one of the biggest pharma companies in the world. I'd bet you a dollar he took a serious pay cut to take this position. In the time he has to work with, he will NOT make a real dent into the VA crisis. He's almost like the sacrificial lamb in all of this. The VA will not be fixed in ANYONE's first term, maybe not even the second. You'd be taking over 60 years of ignorance and trying to fix it in a day? Add to that the SES and other senior officials in VA KNOW the very laws they use to keep their jobs, and the union that reps them is one of the strongest in the nation. Now with all this said, it will not change the fact that Trump is a liar, a poacher of emotions, and probably on the THE best snake oil salesman ever. But folks in a desire to get something "new" will latch onto something or someone no matter how wrong they really are, no matter there is actual non biased data that shows he's a serious flip flopper and opportunist, and will not be able to do ANY of the claims he spouts off. Bush Sr, didn't build the wall, Clinton didn't build it, Bush Jr didn't either, and Obama didn't finish it. There might be a reason for all of this, and some of it evolves around a treaty made between us and Mexico, a lot of rhetoric with no real action, maybe the part that quite a bit of the land needed is privately owned, and those ranchers don't want the government to intrude on their land, some of those same ranchers might make a little money allowing illegals to pass through, and if the government said F you we're going to build anyways, you'd have more Bundy SuperPartiots. Trump will NOT build a wall ANYWHERE, and his saying he would is shortsighted and ignorant.

Executive Order say otherwise, regarding HCR (unfunded mandate) and tthat is just for starters. Republicans share in the stupidity, but Trump who hasn't been elected, Obama has been and the election process is a joke. That waste time finding whether someone has a dog on their car, as they did with Romney. And be honest, when have mediia, ever say anything good about Republicans. Never! :)

And what about promises, who has flip-flopped over guns, keeping your insurance providers and doctors and even, when he said, he would help the military and the VA problems but is all transgender, especially when the military is reducing the military to dangerous levels.

CPT (Join to see) I would say, he made the right choice, he has to realize his impact on the Veterans of this great nation and the sacrifice of duty honor country.
