There's lots more to read (I'm afraid if I post more, I'll have the bastard catThis is nothing new.
This kind of bureaucratic flimflam when it comes to taking care of veterans? It’s been going on for years, for decades, from one war to the next and all the timeless space in between. And it’s not confined to the Veterans Administration.
Yeah. That’s not outrage you see on our faces, and it sure isn’t surprise, it’s amused resignation. We’re used to it. We’re used to being left to die by bureaucrats and politicians and the American public.
After five years of an intransigent, deadlocked, do-nothing Congress who’d rather chase hysterical manufactured conspiracies and beat their fleshy chests in faux-patriotic fever, who’ll enthusiastically fork over hundreds of billions for fancy new jets and ships and tanks so long as that hardware is manufactured in their own districts, who drive past homeless needy vets every single day, and gleefully refuse to pass a veterans jobs bill or to fully fund veterans services in their own districts or any other, after five years of this capering self-serving congressional bullsh**, now you’re pissed off?
By all means, go ahead, America, knock yourself out. That’s great, it really is.
Ask yourself something, if Congress really cared about veterans, I mean if they were really as concerned as they purport to be, then why was this brought to the public’s attention via a half-assed tabloid news outfit like CNN instead of the House Armed Services Committee? How come they didn’t know?

But on a more serious note, the House today voted to give the head of the VA power to fire and discipline the bosses that were falsifying records. Think Harry Reid will let the Senate vote on it?
