Berta Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Has anyone else here contacted https://greatagain.gov/ to tell Trump who you feel should be the new VA Secretary? Contact area is under "Share Your Story" button. I changed my initial pick to the transition and am hoping for Jeff Miller to become the new VA Secretary. When I contacted Trump's team before, I had no idea Miller would even be considered for this job. As all of you know he already knows VAOLA very well and would not need any major VA 101 information. He also knows who the gatekeepers are and is used to VA spin. I have 2 ideas that could reduce the backlog significantly as well.

0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted December 30, 2016 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 30, 2016 Berta, I think Miller would almost be as good as you for the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Berta Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 He He---- I would be pretending to be Trump and tell the whole VA bunch in DC "You're Fired"... but seriously thanks. Miller and I are both civilians, but he has been getting a lot of encouragement from veterans. He put up with lots of VA spin and crap in the House VAC hearings. Fox News said a poll taken showed he had an 80% favorable rating with vets who were asked if they thought he would do a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 31, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think I read on president elect Trump web site that the position for VA Secretary is the hardest decision for him to make and he is taking his time to hopefully pick the right guy/or lady. who ever he pick I jusT wish they straighten out the VA ONCE AND FOR ALL.

0 MikeHunt Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 my big worry is a few 'tax-evaders' want to kill any and every gov program- except ones that directly benefit them. One road is to bad mouth the VA so much things get privatized- once hospitals are dismantled costs become so high, just like Obamacare, VA care can't be sustained. (Unfortunately the VA leaders walk right into this by their own incompetence and greed) In short my concern is exactly what their intent truly is; to get Veterans service they deserve or lessen their own tax burden. Neither they, their families nor their buddies ever served a day in their life and don't care what happens to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 31, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 31, 2016 My opinon The VA knows how to cover up...as they have been doing this for years. OIG lets the VAMC's know their coming for inspection...weeks before , so naturally they just cover up things before the inspections! its been this way for years...maybe this new administration will figured that out. the OIG should listen to the Veterans and let the veterans voice speak. jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
