Yep. The government can't do its job because it has been intentionally understaffed by Congress.

Half of the last term they refused to even pass a budget, never mind understaffing....

There has been no actual budget passed since 1997. The nutsuckers do continuing appropriation to hide their reckless borrow and spend from the feebleminded.

The VA already has 41,500 job vacancies.

I know, those positions wont get filled, people will die,
Its not just the VA, its the Social Services hiring, for people on any kind of benefit.
His hiring freeze cant be for those new ICE agents, but how much is it going to cost to get all those extra immigrants in detention housed, fed, ?

One of the most underreported Obama scandals, and one of the biggest Obama scandals out there

Due to poor recruitment (they dont pay well) and a lengthy hiring process (see lawmakers (you may read nutsuckers)) since Obama does not hire or set pay for these positions, the nutsuckers fundamentally do....

In 2013 the VA spent $41.5 billion on Veterans’ healthcare, an increase of 16% from 2007 ($36.2),[30] while the number of individual patients increased by 18% from 5.5 million in 2007[25] 6.5 million in 2013.[26] Recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan increased demands on VA resources with the number of veterans of these wars who went to VA for care increasing 200% from 2007[25] to 2013,[26] The Veterans Benefits Administration also received an additional $1.2 billion as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
In early June 2014, soon after the scandal became public, the U.S. Senate passed a $500 million aid bill for the VA.[31][32]


The VA Office of Inspector General (OIG) reports in 2005, 2007, and 2008 found the reported outpatient waiting times to be unreliable because of data integrity concerns associated with VHA’s scheduling system.,[35][36][37][38] The discrepancies found by the OIG between requested appointment times documented in medical records and in the databases, and incomplete waiting lists are attributed to patient preference or the scheduler’s use of inappropriate scheduling procedures.[39] Veterans Affairs officials warned the Obama-Biden transition team in the weeks after the 2008 presidential election that the department should not trust the wait times that its facilities were reporting.[40]


According to a 2010 VA memo, the problem of "gaming strategies" inside the VA to meet performance goals dates to at least 2008. VA Deputy Undersecretary for Health Administrative Operations William Schoenhard wrote, "It has come to my attention that in order to improve scores on assorted access measures, certain facilities have adopted use of inappropriate scheduling practices..." Schoenhard listed 24 tactics identified in a 2008 study as inappropriately reducing the official measures of patient wait times.[41][42]

(this taken from wiki because it is easy to get disparate things together, and it is factuall in this case)

But as you read it, ignoring the footnote numbers and see the flavor: nutsuckers, nutsuckers, nutsuckers, most of the entrenched management is from Ws regime, so just based on that, we know they are inept.


You know, like the Col who was in charge of fallen soldiers at Dover, dumping veterans body parts willy nilly in the dump instead of promised veterans heros burial.

Nutsuckers, nutsuckers, nutsuckers.
