House lawmakers say the Veterans Affairs Department’s $2.6 billion budget shortfall for this fiscal year is further proof of administrators’ incompetence and poor planning.
VA officials have a slightly different take, saying the shortfall is a sign of their extraordinary efforts to get veterans the medical care they need, regardless of the cost.
Either way, the department has a gigantic deficit to fill in the next three months. A bigger difficulty on the next page: [nextpagelink][/nextpagelink]

Obama needs to be impeached, if nothing else but on the grounds of insanity , they need to find a reason to impeach him that should be our priority is to get rid of him! He took an oath to protect the people and is Country against all enemies foreign and domestic and so did I politicians, they should all step up to the plate and impeach him
VA mortgages are mainly for vets with no or poor credit. Any decent realtor can beat the VA rate. Yet another”benefit” that isn’t. Like VA medical care. The intention was that vets would get medical support from the VA. Bill Clinton introduced the “needs based” criteria. Any vet with a decent income need not apply. Only indigent vets get any support. Oh yes, they also consider your non-military spouse’s income! You have to be indigent, divorced, and penniless or you get … nothing for your service. They ought to rename it the Indigent Divorced Veteran’s Administration. Your service to your country is not considered equal to that of an indigent, divorced vet’s service. Remember the near total lack of benefits if you or anyone you know is even considering enlisting.
that is bs
