This hearing took place one month after Nicholson was confirmed. Did the Senators take responsibility for what happened before that? Did Senator Larry Craig, the Committee Chair take any responsibility? That's the biggest problem of all. It doesn't matter which party is in control since both sides controlled the Senate VA Committee during all the years veterans have had to fight harder after they got back from combat than they did to stay alive during it.
Montel Williams is one of many all upset about the number of suicides a day but there is nothing new about this or the fact that most of them are Vietnam veterans. They are the majority of the VA claims and backlog. No one talks about them.
Increase $1,000 average to veterans costs. "These veterans have already paid the price" and "This is a non-starter."
"Veterans won't have beds in nursing homes."
"VISN 20 hiring freeze"
"Veterans waiting"
Senator Obama 2006
Nursing home, "Illinois was set to lose $16 million in funding. This would shut down nursing homes."
