No!, the VA needs more money. There is no way to satisfy you or I as to what does or does not need to be done. But the VA system can figure it out if they have the public interest and money to do so. That is the only way it gets done. I have done this exercise many times in my life. I know the realities. None of you have any fucking idea of how much money the VA really needs. Nor do I. But what I do know is that it needs more money. there are many more vets that good old bush gave us! You cannot claim knowledge you could not possibly have. The VA is a very complicated program. The pubs will vote against it because they do not care. They are hard hearted! << am happy to spend 30 billion or 50 billion if that truly corrects the problems. I know there are organizational problems in every organization because I performed organization audits for a while about 20 yrs ago. Check with any consultant doing this sort of work and you will hear the same thing. So, when we have done our due diligence of auditing the climate, culture, processes and procedures, and conditions in the VA so that we can actually talk about which problems more money would correct, then I am willing to talk about approving or disapproving of more money. The guys I have heard from who actually went and got services, said the services are great, which isn't to say the organization is functioning well.
