This is only the tip of the iceberg? How much taxpayer money is being wasted on these “diverse”/”disadvantaged business” scams?

The bureaucrats at the VA are organized crime.

Government could be cut in half. Aside from the large number of unemployed people that would result from such cuts, everything else in society would function just fine.

We don’t need these positions. What we need to do is bite the bullet, make the reductions, and find meaningful work for the ex-bureaucrats.

Doesn’t show up at her VA job; awards jobs to her own company; lies about her status; approves purchase of five-seat tables for $17,000 each; pockets millions.

Sounds like a mini-Hillary.

SO glad the Feds keep sich a close eye on their people and suppliers to make sure fraud doesn’t happen. They are good stewards,of,our tax dollars and really are looking out for the best interests of our vets.

At my company, we are winning lots of new business from companies we haven’t sold to before. We have to fill out their “New Suppler” forms. It REALLY gripes me every time we get to the section where we have to declare our special status to get preference contracts. The long arm of the Feds touches everyday life no matter where I go.

So that explains the VA spending tens of millions on “art,” no doubt contracted for by this crook and her cronies, while sick veterans languished on waiting lists to see doctors. This woman should be sent to prison for the rest of her life…but of course, so should Cheryl Mills, Huma and Hillary and those crooks are still running for president.

Completely outrageous. Trump needs to highlight this scandal. Lots of scandals and corruption are complicated and hard for the public to follow, but not this one. Most people will be shocked and angered by this malfeasance and misuse of taxpayer funds at the VA.

If the House Committee On Veteran’s Affairs doesn’t investigate this they are no better than the corrupt VA they are supposed to oversee.

Another example of the rampant waste and fraud in our government. It’s at all levels - city, township, county, state and national. It’s big in medical, pharma, Medicare and Medicaid. It’s big in military procurement. And it’s big in Social Security Disability. And it’s big in U.S. alphabet departments.

A real fraud and waste busting effort across the board would save untold billions of gov spending overall. It would reduce gov spending in a yuuuuuuuuuuuge way.

But, a bunch of very fat cats would lose their take of our taxed money, and will do whatever it takes to protect their graft...

The VA will fight a Veteran to the death over a nickel.

If they fight enough Veterans for nickels, then they can steal dollars for themselves.

The reduced-competition contracting program is known as 8(a).

Wrong. They are three different disadvantaged small business categories eligible for bid restrictions, preferences and set-asides.

She claimed all three so as to get locked in on more work. If she was involved in the design she probably got the small business contracting specialist to include them in set asides in a corrupt bargin.
