re: #267 Dark_Falcon

Mitt’s more likely right and the White House is probably wrong. Sequestration is a cut in dollar amount for the DoVA, and there’s limits to how much administration you can cut. Moreover, if you gut administration, then patient care will suffer as logistical and organizational functions provided by administration cease working properly. So complicated surgeries might end up delayed because the machine needed has a worn out part and the spare parts order hasn’t been filled because the department which places orders lost half its staff.

At the very least he’s wrong on his facts. The VA is not funded from the DoD (Pentagon) budget.
