VA Nickel and Dimed Vets to Death While Running a Surplus for 5 Years

The Obama administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) expects to have more money for medical care than it can spend for the fifth fiscal year in a row, The Daily Caller has learned.

VA expects to carry over $450 million in medical-care funding from fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2015. VA received its full requested medical care appropriation of $54.6 billion this fiscal year, which is more than $10 billion more than it received four years ago.

This is part of an ongoing trend.

VA carried over $1.449 billion in medical-care funding from fiscal year 2010 to 2011, $1.163 billion from fiscal year 2011 to fiscal year 2012, $637 million from fiscal year 2012 to 2013, and $543 million from fiscal year 2013 to 2014.

"President requests 3 percent increase for VA budget "

There must be some mistake. No one got injured or killed in the Iraq-Afghanistan conflict. This was a cakewalk, they welcomed us, oil was going to pay for it. Pay no attention to those vets wanting care. Tell them to get lost and stop faking it.

Obama announced his retirement?

Wouldn’t that be stupid? It would make it obvious that the guy is a scapegoat and connect Obama to the scandal.

Of course they know the media is on their side...

The government needs to “go Roman” on these failed bureaurocracies and practice decimation. When a bureaucracy fails as bad as the VA it should have 10% of the entire staff fired with no pension. The president should role a 10-sided dice in front of the press and anyone with a social ending in that number is done.

Ok, so Shinseki retires to a liberal think-tank for twice the money. That's fine.

Now, how about correcting the PROBLEM.

Good point!

The whole DC merry-go-round of govt/lobbying/industry is such a gravy deal for our elites.

...or some other liberal talking points.

Like HC's "Cancer of Inequality," she spoke of the other day.

Hopefully the majority of voters will wake up and take heed to what Don Surber said: "...the American people have had it with the House of Clinton. She’s an old hag and he’s a limp corndog.

LOL

They’ll quickly become the media’s favorite grandparents.

William Jefferson Webster “lil bubba” Clinton-Mezvinsky is timed to arrive perfectly for the 2016 campaign.
