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.

What a bunch of bs
This really makes me angry
That’s why I call him the enemy-in-chief…another reason is I refuse to speak, write, or type his name.
Just sad!
How about Leavenworth?
Profound wisdom.
I had forgotten Obama was complicit in that, but unless you get convicted of murder in Texas, you’re probably going to die of natural causes.
Well, “I got a phone, and I got a pen”, remember that one? Our emperor makes his own laws…he only tolerates congress to perpetuate that “American president” act, for those that are still stupid enough to buy it.
Wtf
He’s anti military, anti vet. Every democratic President since Carter has shashed the military budget. My dad served 24 years and was wounded in desert storm and has to wait for appointments. Stop sending money to the Arab countries and for refugees, let countries like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Jordan deal with them. Time for our veterans to be treated better. We all should be ashamed for electing this moron.
