bojack Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I heard President Obama and VA Secretary told press their goal is to end all backlog by 2015. Is this true?

0 bojack Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I really want to know what kind of plan they have in order to clean all those backlogs by 2015.... probably another election promise crap... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted May 24, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 24, 2014 The VA has a plan but not a realistic plan. They have a plan in "Cloud Coo Coo Land" as Germans phrase it. The VA will only speed up eliminating the backlogs by 2015 if there is constant pressure from below meaning congress and voters. They only respond to drastic pressure where jobs are at stake. Otherwise, the senior management of the VA just believes they can wait out public outrage until it cools off and shifts to some other outrage.

0 bojack Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 I really hope they do try to clear backlog much as possible. I could really use some of that money. I have been spending way too much money on my copay and really have difficult time adjusting to normal life. I started to pick up drinking again in order to help me sleep. I really hate drinking....
