I am 68 years old and have never tired of helping our Vets and will continue until I draw my last breath. Semper fi

What you do for vets is huge.
You say you don't care about left and right yet you responded to Randy with comparisons about money spent during Obama's presidency versus Trump's.
What Trump understands is that you can throw all the money you want at a problem but if you don't change the way it's administered and the people involved the problem doesn't get better. Trump brought accountability to the VA, proper oversight and efficiency. The results speak for themselves.
Randy's friend is a perfect example. Why would anyone want to travel 150 miles for care, free ride or not, when he can receive care 35 miles away? Why would anyone suggest that a person should have to travel 150 miles when care can be received 35 miles away? Never mind that the guy's got cancer.
At best it's inefficient. At worst it's insane. But that's how the government operates and that why the government is always part of the problem instead of part of the solution and that's why the government hates Trump.
