Almost $.5 million was missing from a small store in a Veterans Hospital. It took years to find out it was missing.

There is a reason why we need a smaller government. We’re beginning to look like the Russian Government

“why does Veteran’s Affairs have retail stores”

It was a small store in the lobby of a VA hospital.

NEITHER a retail store or strippers
are related to health care of Veterans.

These “people” belong in prison, but that is
as likely as Boehner or McConnell being Republicans
or conservatives or Americans upholding the Constitution.

Instead, by having no ACCOUNTABILITY, ISIS is attacking
and the VA employees are whoring on taxpayer money.

As far as I’m concerned this is treason, but that seems to be par for the course under this administration. Sht on the veterans, kiss the butts of Islamo Nazis and foreign invaders.

Serves the same role as the stores in hospitals do: sells candy, light snacks, water/soft drinks, papers and magazines, get well cards, probably balloons, flowers etc to patients and their families.

Often, when government employees see graft, corruption and outright criminality at the top - read the White House and Cabinet - they become emboldened and emulate the conduct. There was also a lot of this during the Clinton years. The volume of such corruption during the last six years seems overwhelming. It’s a perfect example of the fish rotting from the head down.

He is a piker when compared to the Clintons. $150,000 is chump change. Let him off. He just made a small mistake.

Who hasn't misplaced $500K at one time or another? Happens all the time.

My mother advised me, if you’re going to steal, steal big. Her example was people in the south who got five years for stealing a loaf of bread for their kids. In the meantime, Boesky was just getting out of prison, only a few million lighter.

But think of the stories he will have to tell in prison. Those alone might keep him alive!
