Too many powerful people have reason to hide the failures.
Taxes don't fix that, in fact more revenue just makes it more lucrative for them to hide it.
not the fault of a government model if it is underfunded for 20 years or more.
First, the premise of your excuse is questionable as the only cause for all the horrible things they do but more importantly it is a truly childlike lame excuse.
We didn't elect any government 'model' to run our country.
We elected adults to do it.
If the adults found veterans having to wait 6 months for appointments they should have gone public with the situation instead of hiding the facts by creating unofficial waiting lists so that the six month wait disappeared from their record keeping!
It is, or should be, criminal, and we haven't stooped quite that low yet to purposely elect criminals. If the reaction by the administration is to escape this the way they have attempted to escape things like Benghazi then they are complicit. We shall see. So far they have reacted like roaches looking for the shadows when the lights come on.
If all they do is offer your funding excuse then they are the root of the problem.
When Ambassador Stevens alerted the State Department that he needed more security in Bengahzi the State Department spent $700,000 on landscaping on their Brussels embassy but cut back on Stevens security.
They could have found the money and defended the budget management irregularities like adults. They do as much all the time for their own selfish needs...Pelosi used Air Force jets to pick up her grandchildren and assorted family from all across the country and fly them to vacation spots all under some nebulous 'right' to spend the money for her 'security' as Speaker...
Likewise, when a natural disaster hits the President can send people and money rushing into a problem to solve it. Money not in the budget (as if we even have one).
So, assuming your excuse holds water...
If I was in charge I'd declare this a national emergency and send people and money to solve it and tell the Congress to go piss up a rope if they want to try and go before the voters and run on the premise it isn't.
I'd go on TV and tell them why I did it and that I told Congress to solve the issue in the budget or they would be answering to the voters. And then I would know I did the right thing for the right reasons and I'd face the consequences of my actions like a responsible adult.
In the private sector, the foxes are bleeding the purse dry, they're just doing so on the backs of their workers at the lower levels, and the consumers who accept the market, as is. Look into how corporate boards work, and get back to me with the whole matter of foxes and henhouses.
