Sober; Well, if you know ANYTHING about the VA and you had any experience with them, you would know that they are the worst example of efficiency that anyone could ever site. Interesting comment for me as just a couple of days ago I road up to VA hospital with my son who had an appointment there. When he came out, he was flabbergasted saying that it was the most efficient hospital - well I think he said "place" he had ever seen. He said he went from station to station that they were very polite and that there was absolutely no waiting - been to a real hospital lately? Our health care system is broken and out of control. To bury our heads in the sand and pretend we can continue along the path we are going is ridiculous. We need to all sober up to that fact. steve

If there was NO federal government, Joe is the one who would create the infrastructure directly for the project manager of the project, either for a small town, city or state. The more federal government gets involved in anything, the worse the outcome will be. Sober, we are clearly at opposite ends of the distribution on this one. I can't bridge that gap for a conversation.
