Obama Cuts 2.6 Billion From Veterans While
Allocating 4.5 Billion To Syrian Migrants Moving To America, 4/15/16
Veteran Affairs is one of the most mismanaged government program
in the United States. Veterans cannot make appointments, the cost for treatment
is outrageous, over 307,000 veterans died waiting for care, yet nobody
has been held accountable. The most recent atrocity by the VA came when the VA
went to Congress, less than three months before the end of the fiscal year,
short $2.6 billion in funds in order to care for the veterans.
The Secretary of Veteran Affairs, Robert McDonald, told Congress
that if they do not receive $2.6 billion more in funds, they will have to deny
veterans the care they deserve. The VA has been known to delay doctor
appointments, especially in the past 7 years. Robert McDonald has only been
Secretary of Veteran Affairs for the past year, yet he has already made some
horrific things. “What you’re seeing is a sea of change in the way VA operates.
Historically, we’ve managed to a budget instead of managing to requirements
based on veterans’ needs.”
After discussing the possibility of closing some of the VA
hospitals, Congress passed an emergency spending bill worth $3.5 billion. Josh
Earnest, White House spokesman, said that the United States has committed to
spend $4.5 billion in order to help rebuild Syria while also addressing the
refugee camps scattered throughout Europe. $419 million will be designated for
humanitarian aid assisting with Syrian refugees. The money is coming from the
United States Agency for International Development which means that Congress
will not get the chance to deny the funding.
While thousands of veterans are dying waiting for medical care and
even more are living on the streets, the United States is sending over several
billion dollars to help other countries. The United States can’t even take care
of those who protect its freedom, yet the Obama Administration doesn’t seem to
notice or care.
