See, this is why I like writing in a blog. I can call the DVA Secretary, Eric “Black Beret” Shinseki, an incompetent boob when he’s being an incompetent boob. The Associated Press<\/a> writes that he told a Senate committee that he’s going to accelerate a program that already a month late in being launched. That program is the one which is supposed to get severely wounded veterans out of long-term care facilities and send them home to be cared for by their families instead; <\/p>\n

President Barack Obama on May 5 signed a law instructing the VA to provide a monthly stipend, health insurance, mental health help and other aid directly to caregivers to help keep the veterans out of nursing homes. But the VA missed a Jan. 31 deadline for implementation. And The Associated Press reported last month that when the VA did announce its plans to help these caregivers soon after, it helped fewer families than had been intended by Congress.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Not only is the program late, it’s only on track for providing support for less than a quarter of it’s intended beneficiaries. When is someone going to realize that Shinseki just isn’t up to the task of leading the DVA? I mean they should have known before this when he screwed the Black Beret pooch, but he was unable to implement the 9-11 GI Bill in a satisfactory and timely manner so it wasn’t a gigantic cluster fuck of borrowed money shooting to and fro and now this.<\/p>\n

I liked him when he was sitting at home collecting his retirement check, but not so much now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
