Shouldn’t be it’s own Cabinet department, cut down the bureaucracy and transfer it to DOD or HHS.
Reagan creating the VA and giving it a cabinet rank was one of the few issues I have with his presidency, it grew the federal government immensely under his watch and seems to go against his own self-declared philosophy.
Sadly, it would be political suicide today if ANY politician proposed eliminating the VA and transferring its functions to another Dept. (even though I don't think Veterans benefits/treatment would be cut at all, and actually might improve drastically).
