8 months and $16.3 billion later, health care wait times for veterans…unchanged

It took 1 sentence before the AP reports the times are NOT a-changin’ at the VA…

“A year after Americans recoiled at revelations that sick veterans were getting sicker while languishing on waiting lists, VA statistics show that the number of patients facing long waits has not declined, even after Congress gave the department an extra $16.3 billion last summer to shorten waits for care.” (emphasis added)

$16.3 billion in 8 months… yet nothing improved for veterans seeking health care.

Makes you wonder where Obama’s VA fatcats spent the money, doesn’t it?

And don’t bother trying to find any information in that 2465-word article on how the $16 billion was spent…somehow, AP doesn’t get around to reporting that.

No surprise there – as a liberal news agency busy carrying Obama’s water for 6+ years, it’s typical they’d slam southern (GOP) states…while covering for him.

But the question’s worth repeating: where did Obama’s VA spend the $16 billion? Has he already approved the VA diverting funds, without Congress’s okay?

(You’d think a news media could track down spending that’s less than a year old.)

Hello-o-o…Republicans…anybody out there…?
