Have Problems with Department of Veterans Affairs?

I fully understand that telling the truth just isn't as popular as making stuff up, but enough is enough. 

Lying, manipulating and down right idiotic emails are flooding my in box!

Here's the real truth on a lot of stuff some folks don't want you to know because the truth hurts their meager point of view.

VA Crisis: Sorry folks but no, it isn't the fault of Obama or his administration.

Sure they have something to do with the mess but their part was done by adding to the veterans being able to seek care and compensation.

Who gets the blame? That would be Congress. Not just this Congress but every Congressional Session going back to 1946 when the first House Veterans Affairs Committee was called to order.
Chronological History of the Department of Veterans Affairs

1930
The Veterans Administration was created by Executive Order S.398, signed by President Herbert Hoover on July 21, 1930. At that time, there were 54 hospitals, 4.7 million living veterans, and 31,600 employees.
1933
The Board of Veterans Appeals was established.
1944
On June 22, President Roosevelt signed the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944. (Public Law 346, was passed unanimously by the 78th Congress). This law offered home loan and education benefits to veterans.

You can read more about what they are, and always were, supposed to be responsible for.
Don't feel bad about blaming Obama since I used to blame Bush for everything instead of understanding exactly who was supposed to be in control of how veterans are treated.

Congress write all the rules, passes all the bills and they are supposed to fund the VA to make sure it has proper staffing to care for veterans medically as well as process their claims.

They should have fixed the issues with the VA decades ago and prepared it to be able to handle the influx of veterans. They didn't.

There were already long lines in the 90's!

BLAME CONGRESS!

If we don't start telling the truth, we won't fix anything and veterans will keep feeling like they just got tossed the the trash!
