In his New York Times column today, Krugman declares that, indeed, the reason for the squalor really is who is in charge:Socialism is really a religion to some.
"What makes this a particular shame is that in the Clinton years, veterans' health care -- like the Federal Emergency Management Agency -- became a shining example of how good leadership can revitalize a troubled government program. By the early years of this decade the Veterans Health Administration was, by many measures, providing the highest-quality health care in America. (It probably still is: Walter Reed is a military facility, not run by the V.H.A.)"
You see, in Krugman world, socialism works only when it is administered by True Believers.
