David Roe: “According to the GAO, the VBA has not provided a plan or a timeline for implementing the new verification system.”

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

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.

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.

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.
