Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn't use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn't either.

Actually Disney does a great job of measuring the wait time of all their rides. BEFORE you get in line there is a sign showing the approximate length of the wait time. AND they post it on an app so you can see where the lines are short or long. :)

Indifference. Uncaring. Not accountable.

The hallmarks of the Hussein admin.
