Does Not Compute

A few weeks ago, in one of the largest-ever expansions of veteran health care, "Joe Biden" directed the US Department of Veterans Affairs to extend eligibility to MILLIONS of sick military vets:

Good for you, Joe. Right?

Yet, three weeks later the VA announced it has to CUT 10.000 full-time positions from its medical staff:

This does not compute !!!

I believe the President's action represents a cynical election year ploy. After all, if Congress or the VA itself were to object that there is no money or staff to treat the newly eligible vets, wouldn't that aggravate millions of vets and their families who might otherwise have voted for Donald Trump and GOP candidates?

Face it, my fellow vets, we're just pawns in the Great Game being played by TPTB. And if we complain too loudly, there are millions of new arrivals ready, willing, and able to take our place.
