Build Up the VA.
Cut bureaucracy, but leave VA alone. In fact, we should build up the VA.
In the aftermath of Marxocrat and Republicrat cuts to defense, both defense and the VA need new attention.

We need to dispell the Lefto-Marxist anti-Constitutional myth that says that Defense is our biggest national expense. Millions have been indoctrinated and propagandized into believing that, if it wasn't for all the money we spend on wars, our economy would be roaring, or at least healthy. That is a lie. It was always a lie.
US Defense spending is dwarfed by US entitlement spending. As we pointed out in the Cut Social Security page, Social Security spending alone is larger than defense spending, ever, including in time of war. Yet the Marxocrat Party, with dependable go-along-to-get-along Republicrat bipartisan support, always, always seeks to cut national defense, ostensibly in the name of "fiscal sanity."
They are treacherous liars.
Social Security is just one of many, many entitlement programs. Throw in all the other welfare, food stamp, etc., programs and you might begin to see how defense is ever increasingly short-changed, I believe on purpose. Then throw Obamacare into the mix, and all of a sudden everything we spend national money on is dwarfed. Just about every entitlement program comes into being or grows at the expense of defense.
Consider the fact that National Defense is listed in Article 1 Section 8 of the Constitution, but not one single entitlement is listed there. That which the Constitution mandates, we cut; that which is completely outside the Constitution, we spend on, at the expense of what is mandated by law.
That's fiscal sanity?
US Dept of Veterans Affairs (VA)
The VA health care system maintains some 171 medical centers, more than 350 outpatient, community, and
outreach clinics, 126 nursing home care units and 35 domiciliaries. VA
health care facilities provide a broad spectrum of medical, surgical,
and rehabilitative care.
The VA has three main subdivisions:
- Veterans Health Administration (VHA): responsible for providing health care in all its forms, as well as for biomedical research (under the Office of Research and Development, Community Based Outpatient Clinics (CBOCs), and Regional Medical Centers
- Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA): responsible for initial veteran registration, eligibility determination, and five key lines of business (benefits and entitlements): Home Loan Guarantee, Insurance, Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment, Education, and Compensation & Pension
- National Cemetery Administration: responsible for providing burial and memorial benefits, as well as for maintenance of VA cemeteries.
From the Revolutionary War on, the need was recognized to take care of the widows and orphans of American fighting men, and care for the grievously wounded veterans and their dependents. Military spouses and children are covered along with servicemen and women. Generally, National Guard and Reserve members who serve completely within the US borders and who do not see action are not covered under VA, except for any service connected injuries. All active duty, all foreign service and all war-zone service is covered.
In our opinion, VA should be expanded, not reduced. The best health care practitioners should be attracted to VA by competitive pay incentives and the best medical facilities. "Overflow" veteran patients or dependent patients should be treated at any military facility or at any civilian facility at VA expense. That includes medical treatment, rehabilitation, outpatient, and domicile or "continued care" facilities.
These vets put their lives on the line for all of us. The least we can do is to put our tax dollars on the line for them.

This is the last of the Cut the Spending pages. If we are ever going to get out of the economic hole our professional politicians of both Parties have dug us into, we are going to have to cut whole agencies and bureaucracies to do it. Look at the rest of the related pages at the link.
On this day after Thanksgiving, give thanks to the Lord for He is good; his mercy is never ending.
Addendum August 2, 2014:
After all the recent scandalous revelations regarding secret waiting lists and botched health care for vets, my position has changed.
First, let me state that my own experience with VA health care has been excellent, although limited. Medical check ups and prescription refills about covers it. The one and only emergency visit I ever had was handled exceptionally well in every regard, including follow-up.
However, the recent news break regarding the secret lists and the cover-up reveals the fact that bureaucracy itself, once again, has outgrown mission. Probably by a huge factor.
VA hospitals should probably be privatized the same way and using the same method we recommended for privatizing public schools. Those that are able to compete with others in the open market place will stay open, those that cannot will close, or be taken over by someone who can do the job.
Those of us who hold a valid VA patient photo ID card should be able to take it to any military base hospital or military facility health care clinic and receive government reimbursed care. Emergency cases should be reimbursable at any civilian medical facility in America. Emergency VA cases could transfer patients to military hospitals as soon as practical. There are a lot more military medical facilities around than VA facilities.
Again, while I can't speak about a whole lot of personal VA health care experience, what little I've had was all good. I really think these problems are bureaucratic, not medical, at least at the Dayton Ohio facility. Bureaucracy is seldom good to begin with, and bureaucracy, by its very nature, will always grow itself.
(Side Note: I'm one of those dumb vets who didn't know until recent history that he was covered by VA. I've always taken care of my own health care one way or another. Then, one day when I was making a delivery of blood samples from Wright Patterson AFB to the Dayton VA hospital lab, I met a patient there who goes to my Church. In conversation with him, I learned that I was covered. I thought you had to be retired military, or wounded or somehow disabled in service to qualify. So, I got my DD214, got in line and got myself covered. All these years I could have been covered. Poor Vic.)
