OVERHAULING THE VA is the only chance to save it.

More than 200,000 U.S. veterans have died waiting for health care through the Veterans Administration (VA), according to new government documents.

Naturally, the federal government has decided to reward the people responsible. This month, a House committee revealed that the Department of Veterans Affairs handed out $142 million in bonuses in 2014, the same year the public learned that veterans on VA waiting lists had died.

Why is it so hard to understand that massive bureaucracies are (at best) venal, craven, and incompetent?
