If King Bush signs it, nothing will go to reducing the backlog. It will likely be absorbed into the dept and no one will ever see it make a difference.

"The $50 million increase would apply to the general administration account for the Veterans Benefits Administration, which processes benefits claims. The money is earmarked for pilot programs to find ways to cut the average waiting time for a ruling on a claim, currently six months for initial claims."

50 million for pilot programs ahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaahahahahahahhahahahhaha!!!!! did I mention that that was funny right there!!!!

50 mil for new studys wow never heard that one before. Wonder which contractor will benefit from it this time. Why not just let the GAO do another one of their worthless studies on the problems within the VA adjudication process and changes needed to clear the backlog? Hell they have done tons of them in the past so lets keep the 50 mil and just let them at it.

which is currently 6 months????? when was the last time they clocked the claims process? must have been prior to the civil war! hahahahahahaha 26 months is more like it these days.

I would laugh about it but 50 million would go a long way in taking care of our Veterans that are homeless, sick, and getting royally screwed. Peronslly I have an AO claim that has been going in circles for over 1,260 days! It is a race to see if I die first or the VA gives me an affirmantive decision on my claim! Guess who is going to win.........

Our economy is in the toilet

Washingto and DOD are using Stop Loss as a back door daraft

The Air Force has to reduce its numbers by 10,00 this year despite a shortage of manning in other branches

VA has a back log of over 600,000 claims

The dollar is not worth a continental (hey that's funny)

Gas prices at at all time highs due to futures traders on the New York Stock Exchange

The only way we have to go is up.......... If a country ever needed leadership and common sense this one does.

What kind of bonus does the army or marines have to pay an infantryman to reup? How much is a head worth if you get it blown off?
