I hope we don’t end up like the Haitians……they’re still waiting for the money promised by the ‘Clinton Foundation’ when a hurricane wiped out most of the island several years ago. 😅
I was at the Sheppard Pratt North Point VA shelter in Hagerstown, MD where they make us eat old out dated garbage from the dumpster. The Director Tosha almost never comes in for more than 1 hour a month. The place is a haunted house. Water leaking from pipes everywhere, vents in the ceiling that have never been cleaned (I have pics), broken dishwasher for months. Sheppard Pratt is horrible.
I want to expose all the corruption and ineptitude at Sheppard Pratt. For 2 years I have been homeless and the government, VA and Sheppard strung me along saying they would get me housing. Instead, the VA pays $2,000 a day for me to sit in a run down NJ motel. $750,000 flushes down the toilet last year when all I need is HUD VASH, Section 8 or something like that.
Less than 50% of veterans actually receive benefits from the VA and of that, 50%, not all of them are receiving monetary benefits. If the VA can handle a load of 50 % what the hell would they do if everybody started filing?
I never served in combat and my need for a CPAP isn't due to anything I did in the Air Force. Should I feel guilty taking monthly disability payments when those with severe combat related disabilities need more support?
Why does our country take care of others 1st, NO let me re say it again the ones running our country helping others before our VETERANS they served and sacrificed there lives no one from foreign countries have we need ones that will see and do for our VETERANS to come 1st remember there's lots of Vets and voting time happens all the Time!!!
I know. Maybe we should not send the Taliban $80 million per week. Or maybe we should not send money to Ukraine. Or maybe, maybe, maybe we should not send money into Gaza, Israel, Hamas, or Iraq. Maybe. 🥸
Those are all foreign policy issues. VA spending falls under the Department of Veteran's Affairs which has absolutely nothing to do with foreign policy. Also, the issue isn't that there's no money to give to the VA. The problem has to do with the VA not budgeting properly and now they're asking for billions more then they initially said they would need to cover expenses when the 2024 VA budget was originally passed. Funds aren't being held back because the US has given Ukrainian money (which is not given to them in cash like the majority of people assume. They are given military surplus that our troops aren't using anymore. We're basically giving them our old hand me downs. If you don't believe me then look it up for yourself.) The Senate isn't going to approve more money going to the VA until they find out why their budget is short to begin with which is appropriate IMO.
I am not worried; the funds will be provided.
I agree it’s already budgeted that we will have money for disability compensation and pension

@@williamvuiller5121 they will
Never get it ever it’s just how policy and politics play hand in hand
If I don't get paid I will call congress ever single day . But while we don't get paid . Congress will sure make they get paid
How is there a shortfall. If we have billions to waste in Ukraine and illegals.
Tax cuts on the rich and corporations. The US is borrowing for everything.
Get rid of Denis. Paid his buds 150MM in illegal bonuses. Disgorgement.

I tried using these guys to represent me and they refuse to have denied claims and they said I wasn’t qualified so what makes this message qualified?
They would have to stop payment to all VA employees and everyone else in government jobs before depriving vets of their benefits.
So what do WE do? Who do we call, write, and email to get the ball rolling to get it fixed in time?
Let not forget all those bonuses they handed out like candy and got in trouble for.
Thanks for the intel
It don’t impact our pay it’s already budgeted
Is disability payments mandatory spending? Then why are they saying payments are delayed?
@@user-tq8po9vp5e they lie
Be assured the politicians will be paid well, and of course insider trading for icing on their cake.
I've been waiting for travel pay incurred last December
They have already talked about the 2% increase for 2025
I guess I should buy a lottery ticket...
You ain't seen nothing yet.
this will not impact us in part that this is mandortory spending

It was sent to Ukraine
That and went to illegal bonuses for higher ups within the VA. So that they would keep shut.
But we keep sending money to Ukraine right! unacceptable
There's the problem for Vets
Why does our country take care of others 1st, NO let me re say it again the ones running our country helping others before our VETERANS they served and sacrificed there lives no one from foreign countries have we need ones that will see and do for our VETERANS to come 1st remember there's lots of Vets and voting time happens all the Time!!!
Got to start coaching the adjudicators to deny more claims.
Get it back from UKRAINE for starters ! 😡 👎🏾
VA always move the goal pole on veterans health benefits.
Wait what... Ukraine? Oh yeah, let's send our money there and screw our veterans here! No wonder there's a huge recruiting crunch for our military! SMH
What does SMH mean?

Project 2025 has something to do with this
Full potatoe
Yikes
Wow
But they can send Ukraine money right away
Don’t forget isreal, and hundreds of other countries that get US foreign aid so essentially America is the worlds sugar daddy
If vets don’t get paid then Congress should not be paid.
I’d tough it was project 2025, umm 😮
Plenty of money for Ukraine and Israel though.. fubar

Maybe we shouldn't pay congress
If the Dems and RINO’s didn’t spend $200 billion on this phony proxy war in Ukraine, then there wouldn’t be any shortfall. Correct?
