The Department of Veterans Affairs, under the directives of President Trump, is embarking on a drastic reorganization that threatens to eliminate over 80,000 jobs! This brazen move will directly undermine the care provided to our cherished veterans, with many of those cuts impacting veterans themselves!
The VA’s chief of staff, Christopher Syrek, revealed to top officials that the intention is to slash enough positions to revert to 2019 staffing levels of just under 400,000, necessitating the termination of tens of thousands of dedicated employees. Over 9 million veterans rely on the VA for essential physical and mental health care, a critical service now being scrutinized by Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency.
Michael Missal, the VA’s former inspector general, fired last month in a sweeping purge of independent oversight officials by the President, expressed grave concerns to the AP about the VA’s growing lack of “expertise” as key leaders exit or are shuffled under this reckless agenda.
“What’s going to happen is VA won’t perform as well for veterans, and veterans will suffer. This plan prioritizes private sector profits over the essential care our veterans deserve, balancing the budget on the backs of those who bravely served. It’s an outrageous betrayal, and our veterans will bear the burden of this unforgivable corruption, incompetence, and moral failing,” Blumenthal declared in a passionate statement.
Democrats stand united, proclaiming we will not allow our veterans to be dismissed as mere government waste!
