Trump Gets It Right On Reforming the VA

Health Reform: For decades, lawmakers have tried to fix glaring faults at the Veterans Health Administration, only to find the government-run health program get worse. What's clearly needed is a wholesale overhaul of the system, one that exposes the VA to the bracing winds of competition. Donald Trump's plan, released this week, comes closest to getting there.

Of course he (Trump) "got it right." He's being advised by, and has surrounded himself with the greatest minds, a collection of America's leading conservative think-tanks, an Advisory Panel of the Nation's most respected evangelical leaders, and he listens to all of them with one of the most keenly-honed minds for critical thinking this Nation has ever witnessed in action in the political arena.

Throughout this campaign we have watched as an endless parade of "expert" analysts and political prognosticators extraordinaire have predicted time and again that we had just witnessed the "undoing" of Trump by some comment that would have effectively ended any other politician's run to the White House, only to find that, in the final analysis, all we really saw was Trump masterfully re-framing an issue that was previously a third-rail topic.

Genius. Of course he got it right.

After watching Capitalist Donald Trump at a distance for damn near 30 years, I have been watching Politician Donald Trump pretty damn close for a little over a year.
I have observed something I cannot remember seeing in any other politician in my 74 years.

Donald Trump has never claimed to be the smartest man in the room. H does claim he is the best at searching out, finding that guy and LISTENING to him.

THAT is what makes him the best candidate for president in damn near 40 years.

Donald looks at a problem, then finds a solution. Politicians see a problem then find a way to position themselves and their cronies in front or behind the problem in order to personally benefit.

My husband ( a very successful retired engineer) has often said the same thing...
....’you don’t have to know all the solutions, but you do need to know where to look to find them’

That was his mantra......
....but I can attest he knew a whole lot, and was/is highly respected in his field

Put Dr Carson in charge.

LT COL ALLEN WEST as Sec of Defense or State.

I agree!

What government bureaucracy is efficient and not filled with corruption? The Department of Education?

[jch10]

Heck no! None of them!
