I agree with your view. Everyone seems to have the mistaken view that the problems in D.C. are political/policy - just kill off this program, change the goals of that program and we can save gazillions - maybe kill off an agency or two.

That isn't it. The problem is that the gross incompetence and cronyism at every level. D.C. manages everything at $.001 level but manages nothing at all to ensure that the taxpayers get value for what is spent. Termites have eaten at the foundations of everything and there is no solid wood anywhere. DoD dispairs of the DoD acquisition process, but no one can do anything about it. The F-35 is DoD's own poster child of a process gone amok. DHS makes every other agency look good. And so it goes.

ACA, aside, most of what the government does are legitimate missions and programs that have long been argued out. The problem is operational. We don't need policy wonks, left wing or right wing, liberal or conservative running things. We need competent management for a change empowered to reorganize the agencies and hold people accountable to getting done the vital work for the public.

So from that perspective, Romney is likely to be as good as we can do. After all, restructuring bankrupt organizations is what he used to do.

He also use to do RomneyCare which morphed into Obamacare. This is the last thing Veterans need.

I, as a Vietnam Veteran, vote NO!!!
