When I first read this story, I expected to hear Republicans from northern states doing the complaining. But the Republicans calling out their own Speaker for an additional $110 billion in spending being added to the continuing resolution for natural disaster relief and help for the farmers are from the very states getting the relief.
It could be nonthreatening huffing and puffing to impress the voters but saying no to free money for your voters seems odd.
BUT THERE IS AN IMPORTANT TRUTH TO THIS STORY
Where can they cut? Nowhere. There is massive fraud at the VA and no one goes after it.
There is nowhere to cut the budget except though fraud and that will do very little.
IT IS TIME TO TURN TO JUST PRINTING MONEY AS NEEDED, BUT HIGHLY REGULATED
The best economists claimed a collapse of the US when Nixon took us off the gold standard. The value of the dollar is the strength of our economy. We are currently in debt to the tune of $33 trillion. We are never going to dig ourselves out of that. Stop believing it.
If we print money in a regulated way the dollar will recover after an initial drop. We plan to pay the dept off in 10 years. If we can come up with an international stable system which allows for printing money as needed, there will be less need for foreign aid. There will be no more deficit spending, just a strict map for responsible spending.
But if you think we can pay $33 trillion in debt, plus what if to come, you believe it.
MORE BELOW ON THE FRAUD
The doctor in the first sinus surgery was paid over $10,000, and failed because he did not correct the deviated septum. There is a time it becomes a challenge but without the repair the air will not circulate properly, which means the sinus will stay inflamed.
The second surgeon who was paid nearly $13,000, billed $125,000. This is for a 15-minute surgery in his office.
No one will try to secure any money back from the first surgeon who failed. There is no penalty for failing. The second surgeon like the three before him refused to remove the retention cyst from the left maxillary sinus. All the science says it is the source of the problem and why my left ear down through the throat is in so much pain. The ringing in my ear is nearly constant. They agree it is filled with fluid. But nothing.
Well, I have a Dallas surgeon who will remove it for $10,000. If the VA does not refer me for emergency surgery I will just go to Dallas and then use the medical history to bill the VA. Until then I remain in a lot of pain.
ON THE VA BUDGET WE HAVE A CLEAR BASIS FOR THE VA TO SEEK A REFUND AND NOTHING.
Community care in the VA is a nightmare. They have a list of ENT surgeons. They assign you one without first checking to see if they can address the problem. The set me up with a third surgeon who wanted to do the sinus surgery a 3rd time, and again with only numbing medicine. If you offer the doctors $10,000, for a needless surgery, they will take it and leave the veteran in pain. It is a massive system of fraud.
Yesterday I wasted my time at the eye clinic in Harlingen, through no fault of the clinic. Both doctors in the clinic are working overtime to find a way to save my left eye vision. Yesterday's appointment was based on my ability to describe what the community care eye surgeon wanted.
The VA doctor was really great and did her best to fit me for a special form of contact lenses which will improve my vision. But her hands were tied. The community care doctor will not release the medical records and his recommendations. It is really the staff.
She cannot finish the order until she gets the notes from Dr. Gonzalez. I have tried and so too has the VA doctor. Nothing. Do you know how much waste this is? The veterans are delayed services, and the taxpayer picks up the bill.
When you get a good doctor community care is great, but otherwise it is really bad.
Under the law the veteran must receive care within a time certain. Many of these community care doctors know the scoop. They give the VA the appointment for you and then in a few weeks they call the veteran and reschedules 2-3 month out. It was a scam to get the veteran patient.
