We have a woman, a mental health supervisor that thinks it's funny to send jokes to her employees about Veterans committing suicide. Why does she still have a job???????????????????? WHY????????????
Now we have another woman, a regional director that just pocketed 288K for reimbursement expense. SHE MOVE 140 MILES. She already brings home over 181 thousand a year. Plus bonuses, perks, and benefits. When a Soldier moves, at best he is going to get someone in there to pack up his shit put it in a truck and dump it at his next duty station. If he is really lucky and doesn't piss someone off he might get ten days temporary duty (TDY). Which comes with per deim, for him/her self. This chick got per diem for her and all of her family for God only knows how long. That's a FUCKING PROBLEM. Steve Westerfeld, a VA spokesman said it was appropriate.
This same woman received bonuses even when some of her units posted a backlog in claims. At least one at a 300% increase. She is taking over the Philadelphia regional office which is under investigation. FYI, the local Union President urged the employees not to talk to investigators without a union rep.
First and foremost the VA should not be in health care. If the People of this Great Nation think that I deserve some type of health care then let them give me a card so I can find it on my own. That's the way it works for the poor. I (meaning my wife) just don't happen to poor enough for one of those cards so I have to go to the VA.
Second, get the Unions out of the VA as well as all of government. One of the saddest things I have ever heard was from my head shrinker. We were in a group setting. My therapist was talking to someone else and said she had use to get phone calls all the time. One, two, three in the morning, she didn't have to worry about it anymore, the UNION won't allow it. The first time I meet another guy, he interrupted me and said, "what do you need from me, we only have thirty minutes". True Story.
My VA story will be posted soon, hopefully by tonight. Stay tuned!
