Well ... I deal with the Phoenix VA ... it’s been 6 months and several requests since I have been trying to get the prostrate exam my Primary told me to get. No luck yet.

The VA should be privatized. It's too badly mismanaged to continue as a government program.

Medicare and Social Security ...

1) They're completely unconstitutional.

2) They're fraud ... ponzi schemes

3) They're broke

We can either dismantle them NOW, in an orderly and sane manner, or we can wait until they come crashing down around our ears.

I thought so to. The headlines I see on Trump are totally misleading when you finally read the body of an article.

The lies and made up stuff I see are unreal along with the questionable polls I see.

Your experience is not typical, however.
And you know this how? Sure, there have been half a dozen hot spots in the news, but my guess is that my experience is more common than not.
And BTW, I'm in no way sticking up for the VA.

Have you called your congress critter? Local TV or news paper reporters? No way would I wait 6 months w/o raising holy-hell.

I know this from the number of vets in my family and that of friends. There has also been some investigative reporting done on the issue to the tune of over 300,000 dying while waiting for treatment.

Trump does this sort of thing. He’s a man of little patience, but that can be good.

Know my state rep personally ... working with DAV. Sure I can do all the above BUT that’s not the point. The point is that ... I’m not an exception ... this conduct from the VA is normal and common

Downright stupid headline. These idiot journalists are constantly trying to be cute or clever or something but they aren’t cutting it.

Stupid headline:

This Vet Just Asked Trump 1 Question That Makes Him Instantly Walk Off the Stage

Sick of stupidity and ignorant cutesy children.

Like I said - there have been hot spots and sounds like your area might be one of them.
Let me also say that I don't think VA medical care should be available to any vets unless their problems are service connected.
That so many vets are using the system is probably more than half the problem getting an appointment.

I don’t think the title is intentionally misleading but it is poorly worded. But I can also see your point that to someone who wasn’t aware of how it went down it might sound bad. I saw it live so I knew the truth.

Certainly is,but if it makes people eager to get something on Trump to read down, they will be disappointed.

Didn’t know that. If some democrat had done that it would be headline news forever.

That's a damn good question. That bastard Roosevelt put us in quite a pickle.

The Constitution gives Fedzilla absolutely ZERO authority to establish (much less compel at gunpoint participation in) any sort of old-age pension program, old-age medical cost assistance program, or disability pension program. ANYTHING other than simply abolishing them, and ending all payments supposedly authorized by Congress under the SS, SSDI, or Medicare programs, is completely unconstitutional and is nothing other than a continual armed robbery of current taxpayers. Fedzilla has been lying to us and robbing us for decades.

The long term answer to your question is: Replace them with NOTHING.

The short term answer to your unasked question (How do we compensate Fedzilla's milliions of robbery victims?) is quite a mess, and any solution that can actually be implemented will also not have any real fans.

Regardless, we must all realize that Social Security, Social Security Disablity Insurance, and Medicare are ALL insolvent. They're broke. They're bankrupt. The money to pay the obligations they represent doesn't exist. There is no "trust fund". We can either find an orderly and sane way to end these frauds and at least partially compensate their victims, or we can experience the joys of economic collapse.

Choose wisely.

As is Medicaid and Øbama(No)Care will soon be. They're also all programs foisted on Americans by Democrats.

Also TANF, SNAP, WIC, Section 8 housing, 0bamaphones, etc. ad nauseaum.

These lot should simply be shut down, THE END, and tell the gibsmedats to get their act together because we're through supporting them.

Yes he did and have you ever heard him try to use it to further himself? Never.
