No, this is a basicly political article with little news value and more political opinion. It was based basily on a supposed side comment of a aide. ( of course the name of the aide and senator is not told) The VA while it does a good job also has alot of fat and waste and is not purely paid for by tax money. And example is VA nursing homes, WWII Veterans were promised free VA homes when they grew old. But both Democrats and Republicans have not increased their spending to cover these costs. I currently pay 1800 a month to have my dad stay in a VA home. Not free or even cheap by any means The VA has been forgotten by all parties. It is a wrong of all, they use it for putting blame, but you don't see any of them actually giving them enough money.
