It is hard for me to go home, as their representative, and explain that to them when you have a veteran who is waiting on an answer for a claim that has been submitted.

As long as I am in the Congress I will never vote to see the VA do a major project again.
But I am mindful of something Rahm Emanuel said when he was chief of staff to President Obama in 2009. He said you never let a serious crisis go to waste. I am afraid some of us are doing that here.
Implementation and enforcement can be a good thing where government is working with businesses to help them get to a desired result or it can be a dagger in the heart.
I want to give the VA a shout-out and there are some--obviously, we are going over some problems today that the VA had, but all in all I think the VA probably has the opportunity to be one of the best systems in the country.
