Whatever it takes.
They are simply trying to reduce the bloated staff of the VA back to 2019 levels.
Sure. Every organization has dead weight.
Heck yes.
But why only 80,000?
Depends on what they were doing to earn their pay and benefits.
The VA needs fixing, but med services for our Vets are so critical.
Take money from DoED and give it to our Vets!
Well, that depends. The French bitch of a doctor that barely spoke English and told me that if you have a symptom that lasts all year then that is only one occurrence and only having something once a year isnt anything of importance enough to help with?
Her?
Ya, sure. Ill be happy to chuck her out the door.
The VA needs to remove WOKE and DEI.
They also need yo restructure their management lines of authority. Right now they are horizontal and all chaos. Their is minimal hierarchy.
They need to stop hiring psychologists from the federal prison system where the relationship is adversarial with patients. They are carrying that into the military environment.
I would prefer they cut every freeloading, bottom feeding Feral “judge” in the worthless ass “judicial system” and the system be dissolved. It’s loaded with thieving America haters, many of whom are foreign thieves and murderers.
Yes I do. The VA has almost 500,000 employees.
From Government Executive:
“ The Veterans Health Administration hired 61,000 new employees in fiscal 2023, said Shereef Elnahal, VA’s undersecretary for health, outpacing its goal by 17% and giving it a workforce of more than 400,000 for the first time. It grew its workforce by more than 7%, its fastest rate in 15 years. The Veterans Benefits Administration increased its rolls by more than 20%, said Joshua Jacobs, VA’s undersecretary for benefits, to more than 32,000 employees.”
Yes
I support it 100%
We need audit every inch of government, regardless of their title or department. We got suckered by the corrupt who hijacked government, the kings of kickback, the disciples of deceit...I want the money back from this epic shakedown of the taxpayers.
Hell yes.
Heard care won’t be affected. Maybe some benefits folks without their heads where the sun don’t shine.
Yes as long as they do it all little at a time.
I am at the Palo Alto facility now for a knee replacement. I am convinced it is the finest Hospital in the world.
Not sure, as I am not a veteran. But I wonder if the V.A has been doing tummy tuck, and breast enhancement and buttocks padded.. and if they do transitioning for people who suffer with gender confusion. Would they repair a rectum of a VET that had an accident with a roduent that he placed up his kazoon for pleasure and tore the membranes? At some point some of these medical attentions probably are NOT service connected and I don’t think taxpayers should be asked to do abortions, and BOTOX treatment to get rid of wrinkles.
That’s one of those push poll questions. Nobody could possibly like the VA losing 80k. “That Trump hates vets!” In reality this is right up Secretary Hegseth’s alley because he talks about this extensively in regards to reforms in the VA system. I have had to deal with multiple VA hospitals. Some are outstanding and others are grotesque. The reform will be complicated but I know most vets are not getting the right service especially PTS(PTS), homelessness and the older vets.
If they aren’t productive to the agency’s efficiency, then yes.
