CNN Journalist Drew Griffin, who’s been looking closely at the VA scandal, states that the problem is so vast, that the entire bureaucracy is so corrupt, that you can’t just replace a senior official or two and expect to fix the problem.
Then entire VA senior management needs to be wiped clean and started anew, according to Griffin.
How about starting by taking the many whistleblowers that came forward or tried to come forward and promoting them into management after a short assessment period?
True
Forget the VA medical system…let he VA fund putting them into the mainstream medical system and let them go to the doctor of their choice…
Hup!
While your at it, throw out all those mindless muddle headed wanna be politicians in the White house!!!
sound like a logical solution to me then put the ones that lie like the pres in prison and fine them million
I LIKE YOUR STILE STEVEN B. PIERSMA …
yes and toss out most of congress also… the VFW has been telling us this for yrs.. and no one Bush , Obama , nor anyone in congress… would listen, until it became political and then it was just the blame game….
They won’t do anything meaningful about it… The government LIKES what they are doing. If they didn’t, something would have been done about it long ago… Kill off veterans that are collecting benefits ? Practically a mandate… The VA stonewalled on agent orange until most of the people that were gonna die from it DID die from it…. And that was back in the 1970’s… Nobody paid any attention to it… This isn’t a “New” policy…….
Like most federal agencies, there are the “official” directives, and there are the “Unwritten directives”… No veteran should assume that the VA is your “Pal and benefactor”… Because nothing could be further from the truth… Do you realize that when you appeal a denied claim, that doesn’t go before an independent court… It goes before a VA court, where it’s all rigged in the government’s favor… A “Kangeroo court”… The people at the top of the food chain are rewarded for following the “Unwritten directives”…. AKA “Bonuses”…..
While this sounds good on the surface consider: Can you really manage anything when you have no control over your workers? These workers can’t be fired, their raises are virtually automatic. and their union is a hemorrhoid on the $#%&!@* of life. We do not give them BONUSES. We BRIBE them to do anything. Yes, abolishing all the workers perks will lead to different problems, BUT AT LEAST YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THEM TO WORK.
