Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee, spoke with other lawmakers during the day and sent a letter to the VA saying a congressional bailout is “nearly impossible.” Chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., said he was disappointed Congress had not found a way forward for the project.

VA needs to report why it is so over budget before any additional funds are authorized, or even considered being authorized!

This type of thing aggravates me to no end.
There was a failure of VA leadership and I think that the organization and leadership of the country is trying to fix that.
Now, we need to deal with the results of that failure and sometimes that is going to cost money. Suck it up, pay the money now, and then improve or fix the system so it doesn't happen again.
In the end, it is about helping veterans.
