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:
Totally reprehensible!
PURPOSELY DONE, FAILURE OF LEADERSHIP, FAILURE OF REPRESENTATION, OF PROTECTING THE CONSTITUTION, THE OATH OF OFFICE, THE LIST IS ENDLESS.
Actually no one in Washington gives a rip about Veterans. Neither party. I think it’s time Veterans should accept this and enough with the delusion. They just don’t care. Examine the last 60 years on the matter. You have been used, their is no political payoff.
Are u sure it isn’t Congress?
EXCUSE MY CAPS. IT’S OK THEY SHORTED ME ON MY FOOD STAMPS AS WELL!
NEVER TRUMP? NEVER CLINTON? THIS IS A MUST READ!!!! PLEASE SHARE IN THE NAME OF LIBERTY!!!!
I know most of the populace hates math but bear with me for a minute as this is really important. A new Reuters poll came out with these surprising numbers: 39% of the people would vote for Trump, 37% would vote for Clinton, 24% would vote for neither. Sounds horrible for a 3rd party candidate like Gary Johnson, right? Not so fast, my friends… The poll further revealed that 52.4% of people voting for Trump will because they don’t want Clinton to win and not because they support Trump. Similarly, 56.5% of Clinton voters are only going her way to keep Trump from winning and not because they support her. Percentages are all well and good but how does this play out with real numbers? In 2012, approx 126,000,000 people voted while 93,000,000 voters didn’t even bother using their voice at the polls. Using those numbers of voters and the percentages earlier we get these real life numbers:
Trump: 49,140,000 voters in total, 25,749,360 of which just don’t want to see Hillary win. That leaves 23,390,640 Trump loyalists.
Clinton: 46,620,000 voters in total, 26,340,300 that don’t want to see Trump win. That leaves 20,279,700 Clinton loyalists.
Are you still with me? Good, because this is where it gets interesting. Someone other than Trump or Clinton (let’s say Gary Johnson for example): 30,240,000 voters
Now if you were to add on all those #nevertrump or #neverhillary voters that number would jump to 82,329,660 for “other”!!!!
“Yeah, but….” you say? Ok then. If only a quarter of the “never” crowd from each side were to jump the party ship and throw in with Gary Johnson how would the numbers look then?
Trump: 42,702,660
Clinton: 40,034,925
Johnson: 43,262,415
None of which includes the estimated 93,000,000 who didn’t vote in the last election.
I can already hear someone saying, “What about Jill Stein”. Well, there are several scenarios that could play out, one of which is if all the “nevers” were to defect evenly to Jill Stein and Gary Johnson along with the “other” voters in the poll. If that were to happen then the numbers would look like this:
Trump: 23,390,640
Clinton: 20,279,700
Stein: 41,164,830
Johnson: 41,164,830
And that still leaves the 93,000,000 who could vote and didn’t in the last election.
Basically, I’m tired of hearing the “wasted vote” argument and thought I’d do the math to shut people up about it. I’d love to see it go viral. PLEASE SHARE! I truly just want people to think and vote their conscience instead of making excuses on why they didn’t. Don’t buy into the brainwashing. A third party candidate can win, and in a landslide, if we the people don’t just roll over and give in. I leave you with one question. Our forefathers gave their blood, lives, and livelihoods for our liberty, how can we not give our voice, and our vote, to preserve it? #NEVERTRUMP #NEVERCLINTON
That’s what should be do
This can’t be allowed to happen.
It’s so obvious who’s side this president is on. Cares nothing about our Vets!
So if they came short in budget money, then why they not adjust to it?
Or is the case that most of the money goes to pay themselves a great salary to have a style of living greater then the rest???
