And Women!!! * * Veterans Are A Low Priority in Congress, the People Served Representatives * * * * The VA, Continuing Rebuilding What the Country Served Should Already Have Built * * With Gen Shinseki, and much needed help from this Executive Administration and its Cabinet and their charges, Conservative target on him after speaking Military Truth as to the then coming Iraq invasion, finally came what the Veterans Administration should have been all along, the rebuilding of the People Served Responsibility the VA, all with total obstruction from the Congressional Conservatives, for decades, who now have full obstruction power and control. Always been way too easy for those Served to ignore the many issues of us Veterans returning from our wars or just plain to deny issues even exist, think also illnesses related to their service in the Persian Gulf, same as done to us Vietnam Veterans and Agent Orange and All Veterans as to In Theater PTS and oh so much more, to the extremely long list dating back to our many wars and wars of choice. Issues are added from these present long conflicts to that long list, easier to do as those served, through their representatives, refuse to Sacrifice themselves, cheaper as well until they rise to the surface and thus many times more in the problems caused by the decades long gross under funding as Conservatives seek to privatize, the peoples Responsibility, for Corporate profits, like our wars! “Why in 2009 were we still using paper?” VA Assistant Secretary Tommy Sowers “When we came in, there was no plan to change that; we’ve been operating on a six month wait for over a decade.” 27 March 2013 Sloan Gibson: The first place I visited was Phoenix, ground zero. While I was in Phoenix, I met with a large group of employees. They wanted to do the right thing. They worked really hard, but the system and the organization was just not supporting them. What I saw there: leadership failure, mismanagement and chronic underinvestment in the system. These trumped up for hype, scandals, by the Congressional Conservatives for the Media talking heads and the Poser Patriots people served, especially at the VA arent new! Decades long and often on the same issues with new twists in the double speak...... * * Walter Reed One Year Later: Democrats Lead the Way for Change, While Lessons Are Lost on the Bush Administration * * >>>February 15, 2008 - By contrast, the Bush Administration has failed to grasp the lessons of Walter Reed. Its record of poor leadership, mismanagement, and underfunding has continued despite the unprecedented challenges facing the VA. Earlier this month, the President unveiled his Fiscal Year 2009 budget, once again proposing to shortchange critical health care programs for veterans. The budget underestimates the cost of medical care, calls for significant cuts in funding for construction and maintenance at VA medical facilities, grants to states to support long-term care programs, and reduces key oversight functions.
