It’s really quite simple, anyone should be able to understand. If there were no wars, then there’ll be no need for the VA. Still, Republicans can’t seem to get this simple logic.
They are constantly pushing for new invasions in new locations, desperately trying to prove to anyone watching that we have the biggest kahunas. Republicans keep whipping it out every chance they get, and they’re the first ones to cry fowl when the VA makes its way into the news cycle.
Well thank God Senator Bernie Sanders gets it and he explains it in a way even the two year old leaders in the Republican party should understand.
“The bottom line here, I would hope that as a country, is that we fully understand the cost of war. And Andrea let me tell you, I think many people do not. We’re not just talking about the thousands of people who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. We’re talking about 200,000 men and women who came home with PTSD and TBI. We’re talking about people who came home without legs, without arms, without hearing, and without eyesight, and if this country stands for anything, what we have got to say is that we are going to provide adequate funding to make sure that every person who is entitled to those healthcare services gets the best healthcare they can and they get it in a timely manner.”
Unfortunately, the two year olds in the Republican party aren’t listening. They’re too busy insisting that President Obama apologize one more time for the history of problems the VA has faced.
