Veterans

The United States senate came riding in on the white horse to save the VA and start taking care of our veterans. Just how did they do this? After studying carefully the problems with the VA they concluded that by spending 50 billion dollars a year they could solve the problems. The vote was 93 to 3. Now they have to wait for the house to refuse to go along and they can tell their constituents that they did their job. Even if the house were to approve such expenditures this will not solve the problems in the VA. It would take years of digging into the details of how this huge agency operates and that requires a commitment of time and energy in which these elected officials have no interest. The press will follow suit by reporting the amount of money and the vote and then forget about it and so will the rest of us and that is how much we all really care about our veterans.
