finally going to give the veterans what they want.

I mean no disrespect to anyone, but VA should not be focused on helping Veterans attempt to change their sex.

For many years, veterans have been asking for a more efficient, accountable and transparent VA. This administration is finally going to give the veterans what they want.

Now, we regret anyone who loses their job, and it’s extraordinarily difficult for me, especially as a VA leader and your secretary, to make these types of decisions.

But the federal government does not exist to employ people. It exists to serve people.

There will not be any more opportunities to stop termination of contracts that are on the termination lists, these are the rules of the road today.

For many years, veterans have been asking for a more efficient, accountable and transparent V.A. This administration is finally going to give the veterans what they want.

We are putting money back to veterans’ health, back to veterans’ benefits.

At VA, we are focused on saving money so it can be better spent on Veteran care.

I'm the Secretary of VA, and I'm telling you right now, that's not happening … the reality is, veterans benefits aren't getting cut.

I just don't think hope is a very good business plan.
