One could argue that if you really want to judge a nation’s righteousness, look at how it treats those who risked their lives to keep it safe. Unfortunately, if were to do so for America, they would have to conclude that it’s anything but.
The fact that the Department of Veterans Affairs is plagued with problems is hardly controversial, but department employee Anthony Salazar uncovered grave misconduct at the Los Angeles VA office he worked at. While going over department records, Salazar learned that not only had his branch lost a staggering 30 vehicles out of 88 it owned, but that employees misused credit cards extended to the office as part of their jobs.
Disgusted at this waste and irresponsibility, Salazar took it upon himself to report the abuses to his superiors, but instead of commending him for coming forward with this information, they fired him instead.

Should lose 30 employees too!
Hello? Who would allow this to happen? They need to go down. I would make sure I got a good attorney!
The people running the VIAhospitals need to be fired.
I believe we should abolish the V.A. Convert/absorb all their facilities (over time) into state run health care services & divide the almost 80 BILLION dollar annual budget among the 50 states. This mismanagement of fed. dollars at the expense of deserving American military personal is a disgrace. INCOMPETENCE.
President Trump will clean up this disgraceful mess quickly. There is no excuse for this mess. Years of very bad management.
And these people have gotten huge bonuses too, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on art when patients were left unattended. Total disgrace.
The Republicans have cut funding to the point that there’s no way the VA can administer healthcare to the Veterans in the way it was meant to be and the way it operated until about 20 years ago. But, when GW took office and gave those giant tax cuts to the millionaire class, there wasn’t enough money being brought in to keep programs like the VA going, so cutback after cutback until service has become unacceptable, now the Republicans want to blame President Obama and privatize the VA so their rich supporters can take it over and get even richer than they already are.
Fire in his bosses
Agree Paul Gray
obama let the VA go to hell, Trump needs to get in there and clean it up, starting with getting rid of all the upper management
