The real question is where can Perry be the most effective: in his current position as Energy Secretary or running the VA.

[airborne]

The real question is - is CNN a reliable source?

[shelterguy]

Perry must not be doing his job because you never hear a word about him. If you ain’t annoying the liberals you ain’t doing your job.

[SuperLuminal]

Seems that being interviewed for the VA job indicates the boss doesn’t think Perry is doing very well at Energy??/

[blueunicorn6]

The VA bureaucrats are organized crime.

[vette6387]

Energy Dept. looks to be in better shape than the VA, and besides, the VA affects our vets and they are a solid voting bloc for the Donald.

[poinq]

Why the hell aren’t they just getting rid of the VA. Its stupid. Close it down. Create a small program dedicated to war injuries. Then give gold healthcare to everyone else. The VA is a waste of money.

[bigbob]

Perry has done a good job at DoE. With responsibility for the nukes you want a steady trusted hand there.

[Freedumb]

Surprise, surprise - the one holdover turd from the Obama administration that Trump kept turns out to be ..... a turd.

[Cen-Tejas]

Perry will fire a bunch of people the first week.

[livius]

He might be better at the VA. He’s not very aggressive as Energy Secretary, and I think he’s really committed to vets (and in fact, health care issues) and he might be good at this.

[Eddie01]

More incredibly effecting executive leadership from President Trump.

...or as the left calls it “chaos”.

The VA has been improving under Trump, and the last thing veterans need is that stupid Islamist son of a bitch being put anywhere near the VA.

Send Perry to South Africa or Zimbabwe.

[OrangeHoof]

The political animal that Perry is would refuse the VA job in a New York minute. It’s a no-win situation where you are both trying to reign in runaway spending and be accountable for every soldier that dies in a hospital.

The VA job is just a set-up to be fired. The only reason for taking it would be because you are close to a federal pension but need a few more months.

[Zathras]

Again, this is how Great CEO’s work.
Find people who get things done. Have them solve problems in one dept and then move then to another.
Perry has clearly repaired DOE, now on to VA

[FrdmLvr]

Hopefully Trump is going to dismantle the DoE and is now looking for a position for Perry.

VA NEEDS TO GO TOTALLY PRIVATE, most Tricare Life users are private now because of the Income Cap.

Shulkin been in position a year still can’t fix bad VA hospitals. Memphis is one of the Highest ranking FAILURES, you can’t fire a Union gov employee no matter how incompent ot lazy.
Investigators: Buffalo VA staff failed to try to resuscitate patient

Nor do I think Perry will do any better, NO experience. We need a multi-board system, a CEO for management, Veterans/Doctors care team. With more imput into congress and President. Why does the VA in Memphis sit in a WAR CRIME ZONE? Don’t get me started on Express Scripts they SUCK! The new Co-pays on low end generics sucks. Base Pharmacies are not geared to Seniors with disabilities. Only to active duty walk in’s. Brass have the good parking spaces. Factor in the hours Base Pharmacy is closed it makes it rough on seniors. EXS taking 2-3 weeks to fill a Script, 2 weeks refill, base might fill that day, but it’s a 5 day call to Pensacola for the TN region for refils.

The new Tricare roll out has been riddled with problems. Everything the government touches they screw up!
