VA: What’s possible is easily ignored!

The VA budget (since 9/11) has increased by 235% from FY 2001′s $45 billion annual budget to FY 2014′s $150.7 billion; funding isn’t a problem. Firing Eric Shinseki may deflect political heat however convenience-maneuvering is not a solution. Although it is the nature of bureaucracy to self-preserve, efficiency is rarely, if ever, an operational mandate.

The question isn’t about whether Veterans are entitled to the benefit of Care. The VA System should be dedicated to assuring combat Veterans receive the heightened and specialized care they deserve and most certainly not continuing the well-established government policy of waste, fraud and abuse.

Seems we’ve forgotten, or conveniently ignored, that CO2 is what comes out of our lungs and integral to the Earths life-cycle. The EPA acknowledges that even if the planned carbon emissions standards are fully activated the effect on CO2 levels will be negligible. Moreover, there is little to no evidence that Greenhouse Gases are integral to the global-warming fanfare.
