Letting vets down: VA backslides on wait times, employee fraud

The agency charged with caring for America's veterans has been backsliding in performance after making improvements from a scandal a decade ago, as patient wait times grow and numerous of its employees are caught swindling taxpayers or fudging statistics.

The sheer breadth of problems inside the Veterans Affairs Department were laid bare this month in a lengthy semiannual report by its inspector general that identified nearly $4 billion in losses and problems in just six months.

The issues ranged from a failure by the VA to recover more than $200 million in reimbursements from private medical providers to audacious criminal plots by employees and contractors ranging from stealing furnishings donated to homeless veterans to massive kickbacks. Investigations resulted in 104 arrests and more than 500 administrative actions in the first half of 2022.

It will likely get worse for our vets. The Biden mafia has talked about sending VA doctors to the southern border to treat illegal aliens. That would be a real travesty. Maybe we should give vets the opportunity to go to the border with weapons, ammo, and robust rules of engagement to end the invasion.

Voters should remember in November that Ted Budd stands strong against illegal immigration, Murphy is a weak sister but better than the alternative. For county commission, Ed Booth and Frankie Waters are sell-outs to the amnesty mob. There is not a dimes worth of difference between them. Stan Deatherage is solid against illegal immigration and will stand up and take a stand. Haven't yet heard Tandy Dunn on immigration issues. He posts here, so maybe he will annouce his position.

Congressman Pete Hoekstra said he thinks the next shoe to drop will be Fauci and his Gang!
