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]

Alas another LIE being spread by the conservative movement. Be a hater, be a racist, but don’t be fooled by political lies and worse, don’t spread them. Want the truth? http://www.factcheck.org/2016/04/va-funds-and-syrian-refugees/ The VA did have a shortage of actual funds but not because of budget cuts and they chose to transfer the $2.6 million from one fund to another. Had absolutely nothing to do with any other funding, like refugee assistance.
