I hear people say Trump doesn't give specifics and just rambles.

Here are specifics.

Sounds great.

Only one thing missing

Fire the corrupt and prosecute incompetent VA executives that let our veterans down

The VA Hospital situation is a direct result of the politics of the VFW and American. The Democrats saw the VA as a way to buy the votes of veterans with FREE STUFF. Republicans competed with Dems in giving free stuff.

The solution is obvious. Sell off VA Hospitals to private investors. Issue vouchers (or whatever) to Veterans which they can use anywhere they want.

My personal opinion: Vets like me who suffered no injury in Vietnam should not get any VA healthcare. Half of PTSD is due to alcohol and drugs and is not the fault of the military. Those who have true service connected issues should receive the benefit.

This one needs more work. How about do away with VA hospitals and allow veteran’s free access to medical care for service related injuries including counseling for service related PTSD? I think America can find the money to pay for such a program by slashing waste, fraud and abuse in our government.

The VA is a bloated bureaucracy. Typically there are 3-5 pencil pushers for every person involved in direct patient care. Most of what they do is create “metrics” that burden the providers without any contribution to improving veteran’s care. They then use these metrics to create graphs and pie charts to make it look like they are doing something important. If the VA was run like a private hospital 2/3 of these dues-paying union workers would be gone and the contributions to the uniparty would be greatly diminished. THAT is the big problem.

Build more prisons.

We’re going to need them.

The VA bureaucrats are organized crime. The thievery is astounding.

I guarantee that you will see a dramatic improvement in the VA system as soon as # 3 is implemented -

"Make the VA great again by firing the corrupt and incompetent VA executives who let our veterans down....

I would include any other employee who cares more for their job than the veterans.

But good luck!

The federal government employees union runs the VA right now, and they won't go down without a fight.

“I hear people say Trump doesn’t give specifics and just rambles. Here are specifics.”

His policy statements are very good. The problem is that those who need to know never will learn because all of the media will black out (is that racist) anything that will put him in a positive light. Even Fox Business fell in line before the last night of the DNC Convention.

How can he overcome this concentrated effort to take him down? God, of course. Social media might be the only hope to spread the truth to people who otherwise might not care or pay attention.
