Trump's 10 Point Plan to Make America Great Again
(Gettysburg Speech - Oct 22, 2016)
Full details here:
One: I will appoint a Secretary of
Veterans Affairs who will make it his or her personal mission to clean up the VA. The
Secretary’s sole mandate will be to serve our Veterans – not bureaucrats, not politicians,
but Veterans. Amazingly, President Obama’s VA Secretary recently downplayed
concerns about waiting times by saying that people also wait in line at
Disneyland.
Two: I am
going to use every lawful authority to remove and discipline federal employees
or managers who fail our Veterans or breach the public trust.
Three: I am
going to ask Congress to pass legislation that ensures the Secretary of
Veterans Affairs has the authority to remove or discipline any employee who
risks the health, safety or well-being of any Veteran.
Four: I am
going to appoint a commission to investigate all the wrongdoing at the VA and
then present those findings to Congress as the basis for bold legislative
reform.
Five: I am
going to make sure the honest and dedicated people in the VA have their jobs
protected, and are put in line for promotions.
Six: I
will create a private White House Hotline – that is answered by a real person
24 hours a day – to ensure that no valid complaint about VA wrongdoing falls
through the cracks. I will instruct my staff that if a valid complaint is not
addressed that the issue be brought directly to me, and I will pick up the phone
and fix it myself, if need be. That’s a promise.
Seven: We
are going to stop giving bonuses to people for wasting money, and start giving
bonuses to people for improving service, saving lives and cutting waste. 85 If
an employee finds a smart way to save a large amount of money that also creates
better outcomes for our Veterans, then a small, responsible portion of the
money saved will be given as a one-time bonus and the rest will be returned to
taxpayers.
Eight: We are going to reform our visa programs to ensure American
Veterans are in the front, not back, of the line.
Nine: We are
going to increase the number of mental health care professionals, and increase
outreach to Veterans outside of the system.
Ten: We are
going to ensure every Veteran in America has the choice to seek care at the VA,
or to seek private medical care paid for by our government. Never again
will we allow a Veteran to suffer or die waiting for the care they so richly
deserve.
