I’m not in favor of higher taxes generally, but I DON’T CARE how high they would have to raise taxes in order to put our VA in proper shape. The VA hospitals should be the best in the nation, period. Whatever it takes.

VA Hospitals are like our public schools. It won't matter how much money you try to throw at the problem. The real problem is the government employees staffing the system, and the difficulty of firing the incompetent/corrupt ones.

That, and as long as you keep a government service incompetent, you, as a politician, can keep having an issue to campaign on ... that you're going to fix it. If it actually gets fixed, you don't have that anymore and why would someone vote for you.

Government is tremendously efficient at doing what they truly want to do, like overtax and overregulate.
