This just absolutely incensed me.
Robert McDonald, Veterans Affairs Secretary, at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast: "When you got to Disney, do they measure the number of hours you wait in line? Or what's important? What's important is, what's your satisfaction with the experience? And what I would like to move to, eventually, is that kind of measure."
Tweet from Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House of Representatives: "This is not make-believe, Mr. Secretary. Veterans have died waiting in those lines."
Really, McDonald? You seriously think that waiting for needed, sometimes life-saving, health care compares to waiting to go on an amusement-park ride?? Do you intend to resurrect dead veterans in order to ask them about their satisfaction with their V.A. "experience", or will their voices not be counted? As a veteran, if my opinion mattered, I'd say that we'd be better off with RONALD McDonald, as V.A. Secretary, than with THIS clown.
Sorry; had to vent. Carry on.
