Veterans have to wait more than a year to receive benefits and when they do it is painstakingly problematic.

It is heartbreaking and quite frankly makes me angry that the VA has so completely screwed up a medical center with the name of such a great supporter of our veterans.

But we have to look at making sure that your employees, Mr. Jenkins, the ones that are performing are taken care of.

I would like to know everyone that was involved in that. They should have been fired immediately.

There seems to be some serious issues with the VA and I do not just think it is Jackson.

Being from Mississippi, being a marine veteran, serving in the Mississippi Army National Guard, you know, I take these complaints extremely seriously.

Until we put people and policy ahead of politics, we are going to have to keep having these squabbles amongst one another.

We are fighting over shrinking discretionary budgets.

The greatest threat to our national security is our national debt. We are $17 trillion in debt, and there seems to be no turning that around.
