SOME Republicans are so used to rats and roaches in their midst and they're so huge and lifelike that, indeed, she might have expected them to be bigger !!
Is she trying to infer that the physically devastated human beings ensconced there have nothing better to do than LIE about the conditions to the media???
This is a long ass history of poor VA care being dumped out in one fell swoop .. like it's something new.
Guy I know has been on disability for so many years, no more wrong with him than with this Republican. Other vets with serious injuries can't even get the time of day at Haley. Haley's money is invested in computer systems that don't work and then RE-invested in same. Bazillions. That's alot of bandaids but not for the vets. This is all public record.
I'm impressed that she spent "several hours" there. Did she just examine the buildings or did she actually talk to the vets about the system?
I had a major medical problem that took them years to find. They dragged their feet looking for my problem. But when they did find what was wrong, they moved so fast I couldn't believe it! So, it's a both good and bad. If they found my problem earlier then they wouldn't have had to move so fast. Funny how that works.
