Reduce number of government employees and contract employees and reduce salary and benefits of the ones left and then use the money to fix infrastructure.
This is a win-win.

I am with you. Win-win.
I took a 30% pay cut to take care of soldiers. Military depends on it’s government employees to keep the machine running.
I chose to do what I am doing because I wanted to give a little back to the military. If they cut my pay anymore, I’ll need to do something else, still have a family to take care of.
While everyone is soooooo cavalier about “govt employees” as well as “ End the VA now! fire everyone and let the veterans go to wherever they want with a voucher”-—lets just stop the armchair brilliant quarterbacking.
1) there are many very hardworking front-line employees at the VA, doctors, social workers, nurses, therapists who do NOT need a pay cut or less benefits.
2) The VA has a voucher system now..one of the problems is that a) the rate of payment for private providers is often way less than private ins.
b) The wait times in the private sector can often even be longer than at the VA, cause there are just not enough medical providers in the community (ie, shortage of psychiatrists, addiction providers.)
Yes, a LOT of Federal employees ( especially the top tier) need to go, incompetent people need to go....but lets be rational and selective how we do this.
