V A ping.
The VA should be closed down and veterans simply given a card to get government paid benefits from private health care resources. The VA is a total mess and cannot be “reformed”.
The VA is a total disaster. It’s computer technology, last time I had any sort of a look at it which was around 4 years ago, was two decades out of date and borderline for dysfunctional.
these organizations are a symptom of the disease named Obama. They took on the personality of their leader, which is one of untouchable arrogance and punishment for non-compliance. This was 100% avoidable.
“’Are we protecting the veterans or are we protecting the VA employees?’”
It’s a good question and the answer is that only the employees matter. The government’s philosophy on this was clearly stated when I spoke to someone in the Office For The Aging in N.Y. State where my elderly parents live.
I said that NY should have tax breaks for retired people who would love to return home to care for their elderly parents, but can’t afford it. It would take some of the burden off the government, provide more personal care, and be a win-win for all concerned.
In a rare moment of truthfulness (or extreme naivete), the girl told me. “Oh, we’re not here for the senior citizens. We’re here to make jobs for people in the office.”
Add this to the the long list of bureaucratic failures and
abuses where no one is held accountable. All these things,
from 911 to the IRS scandal, that were disastrous and caused
major harm to the American people, and not one person is
held accountable. Yet I can drive across town with my front
license plate off and get pulled by four different law
enforcement agencies before I get home to put it back on.
Harris County Sheriffs Department, Houston Police Department,
Spring Valley Police DPT., and Jersey Village PD. All this
in the sanctuary city of Houston.
Remember when we - as children in the 50’s - were told repeatedly about Russian citizens acting as the secret police?
And how people would lose there jobs or be put under surveillance or be sent “north”?
Well, now . . . .
