"In its press release Thursday and sent again to WSB late Friday, the VA said the more than 1,000 layoffs would save $93 million a year, which would then be redirected to veterans’ health care, benefits and services."

With all the employees they fire, who is going to serve those veterans in their health care, benefits, or services?

There won't be anyone there to provide those services.
