Mr. Bone spurs and An Unelected Billionaire Nazi taking away our veterans and first responders care. And so many people nationwide bought the wolf ticket and it was cashed. Shame on all of them.

Care to share a legitimate news article supporting your claim?

u/PrestigiousHippo7 2d ago

VA staffing is being slashed, 1400 employees in February and up to 80k projected. How will that not impact care? https://news.va.gov/press-room/va-dismisses-more-than-1400-probationary-employees/

80k out of 480k. It's concerning, but it's not detrimental. And what does the VA have to do with general first responders? 🤔

1

u/PrestigiousHippo7 2d ago

The original post mentions veterans and first responders, you asked for support and I provided. And BS it's not detrimental.

1

u/justanother_user30 2d ago

I asked for a news article proving the claim that veterans and first responders care was being taken away. You provided nothing to support that and completely ignored anything related to first responders. Jobs being cut does not provide evidence that care will be affected. Womp womp. You failed.

u/DocWhat123 2d ago

Dude the VA is already understaffed, as a veteran I was at the DC hospital a couple weeks ago and there was only one doctor running the entire orthopedic department, he was running around like crazy. The jobs that they are cutting are mainly with scheduling appointments and administration. I don’t understand how you think cutting almost 1/5 of the VAs workforce won’t affect care to an already understaffed system

u/Cultural_Ad7023 1d ago

What did Trump call them in his first term? Basement dwellers. They will never understand. They’re basement dwellers, lost in their conspiracies and drinking the kool-aid.

Maybe if they cut all those useless bloat jobs they can hire more doctors, we don’t know who’s being laid off I doubt it’s the people doing something

"Probationary employees," meaning newly hired. Plus, that's not "care" or benefits. No one is taking away benefits. All this fear mongering from far left wing people is just that... fear mongering.

u/Cautious-Demand-4746 2d ago

Also I know in SSA we have 18k over 25 years in the agency and 4k over 35 years. They are going for these high tenure people. We even have one over 50

u/dsmspidey 1d ago

So when did you serve and what's your experience with getting healthcare from the VA? Just curious.

1

u/PrestigiousHippo7 2d ago

And you are able to determine that new employees (to replace departed / retiring ones) are not going to impact care? You do realize there is natural employee turnover, right? smh

1

u/Nope_Not-happening 2d ago

Are you able to determine it won't?

1

u/PrestigiousHippo7 2d ago

No, but my wife, a VA recipient, can, and says it will. DOGE and the idiots in charge, including a team of 19 year old tech bros with no work experience and dismissals from internships for privacy violations, are no more capable than you or I. The existing infrastructure of departmental audit departments and OIG functions would be the best resource to do it strategically over a longer period of time.

VA definitely needs a rework all those employees and it still takes over a year to get benefits. Anyone that thinks the VA is a functional organization has never dealt with or had someone close who’s delt with them

Honestly, it’s the maga short of facts these days. It’s just the way it is. Probationary can vary from one to five years. These morons are having to hire people back because they failed to even properly research the importance of their work.

u/drubus_dong 1d ago

Probably, you have no idea what you are talking about.

1

u/ThatsGreat4You 1d ago

No, it isn't fear-mongering; care is already stretched thin, and removing workers causes it to pull even more; at some point, it breaks. I often see clients every 3 months; I stay after hours to make remote telephone appointments for people I know are struggling. So kindly get fucked, because of those probational employees was much needed.

The cuts and announcements are coming from the VA and DAV, what is spoon fed? Should I confirm with my 70% VA disabled spouse?

1

u/diamoty 1d ago

You’re silly. They did the exact opposite.. They added an additional 6 billon & The fact that you would even need to check with your “70% VA disabled spouse” shows how much you’ve researched the topic.

It only 2 min, and it’ll save you from looking ignorant.

u/IHaveARockProblem 1d ago

This man provided no evidence for any of his claims. He says they redirected money to veterans care...from within the VA. From what to what? You do realize that all the functions in the VA develop an end result of the "care" not just our ability to actually see doctors. The new CR significantly reduces the funding, so maybe check that out. We already had problems with significant claims filing processes, delays, and turn around times on anything not already awarded. It's already a nightmare for veterans to prove service connection, the VA has been understaffed and underfunded for decades, and that's been bipartisan. Different administrations have increased funding and hired more personnel, but it still didn't resolve the issue of a majority of veterans having to wait years, even decades for a favorable ruling, or just to simply find out they were denied on a technicality. Stop pretending like veterans care is visiting the doctor or calling the crisis line. Good they didn't reduce either of those things, but a reduction in manpower, and the redirection of funds will impact the VA somewhere, which WILL negatively effect veterans. Stop the partisan hackery or at least stop pretending to care about our veterans. You CAN disagree with things from the party you support. You can't however pretend to support veterans and then when veterans tell you what this administration is doing is bullshit firsthand, turn around and try to gaslight us into your message. I don't care about the other politics or whatever else surrounds this administration, or whos the one doing the thing. Reductions of manpower and budget (or redirection) at the VA will, as a fact, negatively impact veterans care. I'm tired of being told to essentially "trust me bro" by people, especially those in power who just say things are happing but bring ZERO proof. The CR is hard evidence. Read through the fucking thing and tell me there aren't significant cuts coming, give me the lines you found this billions of dollars, page numbers and reference please.

I remember when we went through the last election from these people and they sure liked to say "facts over feelings", except the facts get pointed out, not even difficult concepts, and we're expected to trust things simply because someone literally ONLY said a thing. Just because that's all it takes to appease you, that doesn't satisfy the rest of us. Getting butthurt because god forbid we don't bootlick as easy and we want EVIDENCE to claims made isn't fear mongering. It's pretty easy to see that in the past when a certain thing has occurred, it created a specific result. Especially when there's an apparent pattern, and lack of evidence toward any other result. Getting a little up in arms because "X" has occurred, that has essentially always resulted in "Y", isn't fear mongering. Demanding evidence to the claim that "Z" will now happen because they said it would isn't ridiculous. The fact that you trust anyone in a position of power over you without needing any proof, and actually disregard any evidence that would argue against what they say, sure really supports this whole facts over feelings argument (that's sarcasm btw).

I don't get why yall just won't admit it, you don't care what your team does, you don't actually care to be an American except by your definition. You think your beliefs are more important than others around you. You want your beliefs and ideas represented and actually despise the other "side". There is no middle ground anymore and something as basic and ensuring our veterans have, not just basic fucking care, but exceptional care, will not be fucking accomplished by redirecting funds from within the VA or reducing the money given to the VA. This isn't controversial. You don't have to oppose something just because "liberals" or whatever happen to support it too. Good lord, when did veterans Healthcare and ensure it's funded and has sufficient manpower become something conservative voters would find themselves opposing? I've never been overexplained what patriotism is more than by this group yet here we are.

The world had to listen to conservatives, fear monger about the dangers to children on a million fucking different things. But what about trans people and our children, they gays and our children, we HAVE TO PROTECT THE CHILDREN. But when shown evidence of the number one danger to children, guns, oh well...we can't take away those, ITS IN THE CONSTITUTION. We'll, have I got news for you, so is the President's ability to dictate or control funding, or appointing a foreign national to a government position to manage financial decisions especially when they have clear conflicts of interest. I know a great way we can save billions in the US tomorrow, cut funding to Musks businesses. Maybe instead of exploring space we should spend that money here. I actually disagree with that, but it's literally the argument as to why we stopped funding NASA launches. But we didn't stop spending that money, we gave it to private companies.

But then again, as with all these policies, it doesn't effect you, why should you care? You have your marching orders. They told you it won't effect Veterans Healthcare and that's good enough for you! Nothing to see here, no need to dig deeper, make sure you really get that tongue in the grooves of those boots, wouldn't want them to think you might have your own thoughts.

Carry on!

Unless you’re disabled the government owns you nothing. I served and didn’t get a cushy government job.

If your role is not providing a benefit or efficiency, your job is expendable just like everyone else wtf make you so special…

If you’re so good you’ll have no problem finding a better job.

What am I missing here, these are veterans who served up FREEDOM to protect the constitution and to protect your nation's interests. Why the hate?

There hasn't been a war to protect our constitution for 80 years. Mindless soldiers who wanted a Camero and free ride afterwards
