[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Budget bill proposes $17 billion in cuts to medical services for veterans, Trump’s VA Secretary is trying to hide that with utter incompetence.

There's the budget FY21 - FY25:

https://www.usaspending.gov/agency/department-of-veterans-affairs?fy=2025

$306 Billion in 2021
$460 Billion in 2025

So the VA budget increased 50% in four years.[/quote]
You may have heard that two wars ended in 2020 and 2021 so there were a lot more veterans to take care of?[/quote]

Oh, because they weren't being taken care of in theater, but now they are suddenly?

Stop.

On what planet do budgets rise 50% in four years?  Maybe one where there are no cost controls.

And of course, if anyone tries to rein in anything spending related, they're evil and people are gonna die.     :roll: [/quote]

The point is that Collins was unable to explain what medical care would be cut with the $17 billion. Maybe PAs can provide the services at lower costs or maybe there’s some other efficiency that the VA has identified. Unfortunately Collins had absolutely no idea what would be cut. Zero. That’s the problem. [/quote]
