About Vet's health care: I don't trust Repubs OR Dems to fix it ........
Here's the simple fact: The system is broken because it is underfunded. And not by a little bit.

It is underfunded by billions.

The fix is an infusion of cash.

There is no cash to infuse.

The system will not be fixed until we get control of our country. The fix for vets is the same as the fix for the rest of us: Single Payer Health Care fully funded by our taxes and by diverting billions and billions and billions from the military industrial complex.

Note: I did not say to stop funding honest national defense. I said stop funding the military industrial complex.

The Repubs will never do this. Most dems won't either. At least not right now. If the national 'debate' were more honest, more Dems would be on board. And that's wheer we need to start the task of taking back our country. The media - controllers of 'the debate'.

4. You're right. I misunderstood.
Now that you cleared it up for me, I agree completely.
