Reverse Is Stripped Scotty!

"If private companies had mismanaged outpatient care for veterans the way the V.A. system has, there would be strong calls from all the usual quarters for a government takeover, and proclamations of how we can't trust "greedy" for-profit companies to take care of veterans. Funny how this thought process doesn't seem to work in reverse, except among "free market ideologues," who have been criticizing the V.A. for years." [ Why it's because all of us "free market idealogues" are always filled with evil and bad intentions of course. I know I am. Why the very devil himself invented the idea of a "hand up" instead of knee jerk "hand outs". -ed. ]
