David Roe: “I don't buy that argument, and I don't buy that we don't have enough people working.”

It is embarrassing to me to go home and to look those folks in the eye who work as hard as they do and write the checks they do to see this big of a disaster, financial disaster.

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.

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.

As long as I am in the Congress I will never vote to see the VA do a major project again.
