Donald fricking Trump doing work. Promises made, promises kept.
Now, if we can just stop giving tit sucking DACA leeches tax payer funded handouts we could start building our wounded vets homes.

President Donald Trump has relieved over 8,000 Veterans Affairs employees for failing their duty since becoming the president, according to VA Secretary Robert Wilkie. “The standard is if you don’t live up to your oath if you don’t live up to the standards that our veterans expect, that you will be asked to leave,” Wilkie told reporters in a press conference on Friday. “This is a transformational moment in our history.” Wilkie said accountability was a signature promise from President Trump, particularly after the Veterans Affairs scandals in Phoenix in 2014 and 2015. Under Trump, he said, VA employees as high as network directors down to the lowest employees were removed for not performing their job to the proper standards.
quote:
Wilkie praised Trump for delivering the largest budget for the VA Department in its history and noted that the department in 2018 achieved the highest patient satisfaction rates in its history at 89.7 percent. He also touted the success of the MISSION Act, allowing veterans the ability to have the choice to seek care in the private sector when Veterans Affairs could not give them the care that they needed. “This puts veterans at the center of their healthcare decisions, not the institutional prerogatives of VA, but veterans,” he said.

Wonder why this is the first many of us have heard about him actually cleaning house in the VA? Been a VERY long time in coming and way over due!

This needs to be done in ever government agency across this country. They are all full of worthless leaches who’s job could be gone tomorrow and nobody would even notice
Typical Republican propaganda. Completely meaningless stat. The VA has more than 400,000 employees and a historical 9% turnover rate. VA publication pdf
So Trump is now taking credit for annual turnover? He must be desperate.

Trump should focus his second term on making it easier to trim the bureaucracy of the executive agencies. I would like to see a standard 5-10% cut every year

/\ THIS /\
First time I have heard of any kind of number associated with the VA - this needs to be publicized MORE.
And you know it is BENEFICIAL to the actual health care of veterans - because if it was NOT it would have been 24/7 on the MSM.

/\ been saying this for decades - fire 30% of ALL federal employees within 2 months from day ONE - UNLESS the Dept Cabinet Sec'y can establish a CONSTITUTIONAL duty that cannot be performed with the remaining workforce.
Then do it again every SIX MONTHS - until we arrive at a constitutionally solid federal workforce.
And ALL of them should be under the thread of instant termination if they fail to perform their duty. NO POLITICING while a Fed Employee - either FOR or AGAINST the current POTUS you work for. Support whoever you want but do it anomalously - if you cannot do that - find another job outside government. - go get a job as a Walmart greeter or something.

I work for the VA OIG. There are a few more that could go. Not me, obviously.
The VA does get extremely high satisfaction ratings from vets from the Korean and Vietnam eras. It's not as popular with recent veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan, but the old guys overwhelmingly like it.

The VA is a complete waste of taxpayer money. Burn it all down and let veterans go where they damn well please.
