When a Republican says, "You made some bad choices," in English it means 'fuck off and die.'
When Republicans make bad choices ... well, to my knowledge, Republicans have never made anything but bad choices except for some by Eisenhower.
In terms of privatizing the VA, most of the vets going there would fall under the Public Health Option which never existed and, given Trump's presence, it never will. It's just more Republican Play-Doh arithmetic in which it squeezes through the fingers but still ends up the same. They reduce Federal taxes and state taxes go up as they continually play a states rights shell game while they screw people into the ground.
Note: I do not now nor did I ever support this bullshit Affordable Care Act. Privatizing medicine is one of the greediest and most heartless mistakes America ever made, particularly given nowhere else in the world was that brutal and mercenary about preserving health.
It gets better, tho: Paul Ryan wants to cut off food stamps. That was the same strategy the goons were trying to use in North Dakota in cutting off the food to starve them out. I don't have the citation and Google him if you think he's worth it; I don't.
You can see at a glance in a previous article that Washingtonian spending never decreased at all from 1985 to present. All the talk of Reagan's voodoo economics was dead accurate. It was never anything more than a vicious sleight of hand. (Ithaka: America Was Never Great But It Had Potential)
Take this personally and slash me if you like but it only wastes words. There are much bigger problems and Trump's going to make them worse; his Cabinet choices show that insofar as he pulled political cronies rather than any serious resources.
