Yes. A relative had to audit a company’s books down there a few months ago. Said it was a joke. So much corruption and no one actually works.

Reminds me of a joke:
Why aren’t there any Puerto Ricans in the ethnically diverse Star Trek?

Because they don’t work in the future, either.

Remember, the island of PR is over $72 BILLION in debt.

Corrupt is not a sufficient word for it.

That fast? I’m guessing these were not career Civil Service employees. Not that it’s bad they’re gone, but firing a FedGov employee with tenure is a lot harder.

Does Trumps hiring freeze apply to the VA Hospitals? They are already very short on medical staff.

“The woman took part in an armed robbery, then kept her job while she was in jail, and continued to work in the hospital’s security office while wearing an ankle bracelet.” Drain the swamp.

They need to look at the Montgomery Alabama VA Claims Office. Covered up felonies and nepotism rampant but the IG turns their head to it. Trump needs to completely privatize the VA. That is the only way it will ever be fixed.

Would appreciate if you could put up that
link that scores the VA hospitals.

Nephrology for me Fri in Murfresboro.

Bet we see improvement pretty quickly in
the VA system.

Hopefully American Doctors will be hired. So many of the VA doctors, today, are foreigners and cannot be understood. Their accents are very heavy.

My husband went to the FSA office Monday and the girl asked him what he needed, he told her he just came by to make sure they took Obama’s picture down.

She said, “Yes, sir, it was down the minute President Trump took the oath.

I imagine it will take some time to get the new pictures.
