So you can't contribute to the problem, do everything you can to undermine the administration, and then point to how impotent they are. It is patently ridiculous.
No. Lack of funding is not the problem with the VA. It's a sorely mismanaged and corrupt bureaucracy that Barack Obama promised to fix in his 2008 presidential campaign. He's done nothing. Bernie Sander's and the democrats throwing money at a corrupt system that is so mismanaged is not the answer, and espcially when bureacratic administrators are giving themselves hefty bonuses and cooking the books on wait times to milk the system of more money. Clean up the corruption and clean up the mismanagement first before considering how much more money is needed....

Here’s the report itself. The list of facilities now under investigation has ballooned to 26 and counting, so these estimates likely do little more than scratch the surface. And they only span two years. Remember, bonuses aren’t a mere sideshow in this scandal, as several media outlets have reported that some of the VA administrators who cooked the books on wait times were motivated by avarice. Their maneuvers were, in part, a job- and bonus-protection scheme – which is why Senate Democrats’ endorsement of inaction, as Ed put it earlier, is so galling.
