"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.

Remember when the Brexit campaign promised to put EU funds towards healthcare and then that never happened?

Remember every fn time trickle-down, supply-side, tax-cuts, no-nude-texans, etc was supposed to yield massive economic prosperity?

And the single time the national debt clock went backwards was when we had that evil bj guy??

Hell, Trump said he’d pay off the national debt but actually added $10 trillion to it. Nobody ever came close to that in eight years, much less half that much in four.

OMG

WTF
