Wouldn’t surprise me at all.
I am surprised that 0bama hasn’t fired the IG that made the report on the VA, that’s 0bama’s way of handling them if he doesn’t agree with IG findings.
Boehner should be screaming for Shinseki’s firing.
Wouldn't solve a damned thing.
The problem at VA is the same with ALL government agencies.....unions. They are so deeply implanted, for such a long time, that virtually every activity is heavily effected by 'The Union Label'.
You can change the figurehead weekly, and it will only get worse.
For instance, Fox recently reported that a fired NYC air controller had gotten his job back, courtesy of NATCA. He screwed up, and 9 people died in a mid-air. They reported that at least 12 fired controllers, involved in the deaths of at least 59 people, had all been reinstated, thanks to union contracts. And unions have been in place at VA far longer than NATCA has existed.
Until the unions are stripped of their power to defend the indefensible, nothing will change.
And what do you think the odds of that EVER happening are?
