And Obama needs $11 Billion because the highway fund has run out of money.
I wonder what department is going to be the next to ran out of money...
V A ping.
Hell, I’m a bargain, then. I only need 1 billion to fix my problems.
Sorry. All the taxpayer dollars are going to Barry’s Kids. The veterans are going to have to wait. The majority of them don’t vote DemocRAT anyway so there is nothing in it for the ‘RATS.
Outsource it.
Dump the VA and go to a voucher system. Problem solved. And now the leeches at the VA can get a job where they’re expected to produce.
Wait,what? I swear only a week or two ago there was a story about the VA having more money than it could spend and we all wondered why if that was the case the Vets were getting such crappy care!
How’s this? Everyone who works at the VA is fired as of now. Every veteran who needs help can choose his own doctor and the feds pick up the tab.
Social Security and SSDI.
Never let a crisis or scandal go to waste. Cronies need money.
It’s all they know, the answer to everything. Give us more. No shame for how they have been treating veterans, no one held responsible, no ones fault. The same people will do the same jobs but will do it better because they have 17 Billion more.
It deserves no response except your fired
If one cent is allocated to the VA the Congress needs it’s head examined. The VA has been well funded for years. It’s mismanagement that caused the mess. Throwing more at them will fix nothing.
I was told I needed a liver biopsy back in April, I had to wait until June to get it done and it took another month to meet with the MD for the results the results. The cost of that biopsy would have been 8-10k in a civilian hospital (I priced it) but it only cost the VA about 1/3 of that.
I am used to the long wait times it comes with the territory. The Veteran patient population is older and sicker than the population as a whole and this trend will only continue for at least the next 50 years.
The VA has been a good political target for the past few months but its going to cost much much more to cut down on the wait times, to get veterans seen and procedures done faster no matter how many employees the VA fires as so many here advocate.
Tell you what, give all Vets a voucher and then shut up and pay for it when the bills come in.
But that wont happen...because the idiot politicians are not interested in actually providing the promised care for the Veteran they are only interested in getting reelected.
The GOP-e will grab the ankles for us and approve anything: BOHICA.
They need more money to pay more bonuses.
Nope. Bigger government is the problem. Not the solution.
typical answer to any and all that ails any worthless federal agency.
Throw MORE money at the problem...
Never do away with any worthless federal anything even though about 80%of the fed is worthless
I will personally fix it for half that.
Fire him and half of the rest of the administrators and then ask the acting head again if he needs any more money you’ll fire some more to get the money —
