LET THE VA PROVE THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CLEANING HOUSE
THEN THROW MONEY AT THE PROBLEM
By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER
Veterans are cheering funding increases and promises, hoping the corrupt and broken system of “smoke and mirrors” that has existed for decades will magically disappear in a flood of Democratic funding. With the same medical staff that didn’t clean endoscopy equipment managing treatment and a crew at Comp and Pension that has destroyed countless documents and underrated tens of thousands disabled veterans, current “corrections” are little but baloney.
Even in the most corrupt city, if a police officer shoots an innocent bystander, they are suspended pending a “coverup.” When the VA destroys the lives of veterans and their families thru a pattern of proven corruption decades old, nobody loses a day’s work, nothing is investigated and we don’t even get the courtesy of a “coverup.”
At least have the courtesy to lie to us, don’t just ignore us as though we were zoo animals!
How is it possible to take an organization with a management team nobody on Earth trusts, pump money into it and expect anything but waste and corruption on a larger scale? How can we begin to move forward when we still haven’t fixed the decades old problems we still have.
Countless veterans have been denied care, compensation and family benefits like education, insurance and employment preference because of VA corruption. All of this has to be addressed and those veterans who haven’t yet killed themselves or died from neglect and abuse need to have the wrongs they were subjected to addressed.
We can’t bring the dead back to life but we can begin paying veterans from Vietnam, for instance, the hundreds of thousands of dollars in back benefits we owe them due to document destruction, underrating disabilities or failure to process dependent benefits. Spend the billions on people, not on new cars and more marble floors for clinics likely to be staffed with temp employees unqualified to deal with veterans problems.
“Business as usual.” neglect, corruption and abuse must stop but redress of previous abuses and making whole the losses of veterans who were victims for decades comes before anything else.
Every abuse that did go on is still going on. Nothing has yet changed. No program to change anything is suggested, just our government pandering for votes and support in the veterans community thru empty promises and tossing more taxpayer money down the toilet.
You don’t solve a bulldozer problem with a whisk broom.
