VA Wait List Continues to Grow at Alarming RateBy Joshua Krause Now the number of veterans who are waiting one month or more for their treatment, has grown 50% since last year, and theyre currently facing a $3 billion budget shortfall. The VA is now considering furloughs and hiring freezes to continue their operation. Since the scandal broke last year, the VA has opened their doors to several million more appointments, but the demand for their services continues to outstrip what they can provide. At this point, its clear that the VA is no longer entirely at fault for the lack of medical care. The blame should be equally shared by a government that is perfectly willing to spend trillions of dollars sending Americas soldiers off to be maimed and killed in pointless wars, but cant seem to muster the funds to care for those soldiers when they come home.
