VETERANS BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION (VBA)

Needed Reforms

The most evident and ongoing concern is the complexity of benefits, which can lead to confusion for the veteran and, if not mitigated early in the veteran's interactions, long-term distrust of and animosity toward the VA. Wholesale benefits reform is unnecessary and politically a "third rail," but effective managerial

Budget

The VA's Schedule for Rating Disabilities (VASRD) has assigned disability ratings to a growing number of health conditions over time; some are tenuously related or wholly unrelated to military service. The further growth in presumptive service-connected medical conditions pursued by Congress and Veteran Service Organizations, begun with Agent Orange and most recently for Burn Pits/Airborne

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise
Toxins, has led to historic increases in mandatory VBA spending in recent years.
The VA has a time-phased plan to reassess the VASRD and its ratings for com-pensation, but this internal process can be slow and laborious, requires Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approvals, and can become politically charged both in Congress and with VSOs.

* [ The next Administration should explore how VASRD reviews could be accelerated with clearance from OMB to target significant cost savings from revising disability rating awards for future claimants while preserving them fully or partially for existing claimants. ]

* The VBA's Information Technology top-line budget should be reexamined and reassessed in light of the need for expanded automation across the enterprise.

* Traditionally, VHA captures the large majority of VA IT funding. The VBA needs to make the case for a larger IT budget with clear requirements to support that request.


HUMAN RESOURCES AND ADMINISTRATION (HRA)

Needed Reforms
Rescind all delegations of authority promulgated by the VA under the prior
Administration.


* Transfer all career SES out of PA/PAS-designated positions on the first day and ensure political control of the VA.

* Take a close and analytically critical look at where hybrid and remote work is a net positive as a functional necessity and where in-person collaboration and presence will help to instill a strong work ethic and a more cohesive environment for productivity from the Office of the Secretary across the headquarters enterprise.

Assessing Claims About Project 2025’s Proposed Cuts to Veterans Benefits

A viral graphic reflects an actual proposal from the Heritage Foundation, but it’s distinct from Project 2025.

“The graphic is based on actual proposals from the Heritage Foundation, but they are not included in Project 2025. The policy proposals are from the Heritage Foundation’s Budget Blueprint for Fiscal Year 2023, a separate project.”

What the Budget Blueprint says.
The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that has long influenced Republican administration policy, has released a federal budget blueprint each year since at least 2016. The blueprints offer recommendations for annual congressional budgets and typically cover a comprehensive range of policy issues. While Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership, the 922-page document that has been the source of both controversy and false claims, was created by a broad coalition of conservative organizations and focuses primarily on the executive branch and administrative state, the Budget Blueprint is produced entirely by the Heritage Foundation and targets congressional policymaking.

Narrow Eligibility for VA’s Disability Compensation by Excluding Veterans With Low Disability Ratings

C.) Ways Congress is Trying to Take Your VA Disability Benefits Away

Updated: February 8, 2023

The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has introduced budget options that might drastically reduce your veteran’s disability benefits.

First, the VA may stop making IU payments to veterans age 67 or older, which is the full retirement age for social security benefits.
Second, veterans receiving IU after December 2021 would no longer receive those payments after they reach age 67 and no new applicants age 67 or older would be eligible for IU benefits after that date.

Third, congress is trying to narrow eligibility for for VA’s disability compensation by excluding veterans with low disability ratings.

To learn in more detail about all of the changes congress is considering, continue reading on.

Policy Agenda

“This book is an invitation for you the reader Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Ms.Smith—to come to Washington or support those who can.

Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.”

KEY TAKEAWAYS

* It’s past time to lay the groundwork for a White House more friendly to the right.

* The policy book Mandate for Leadership represents the work of more than 350 leading conservatives and outlines a vision of conservative success.

* The usual suspects in the permanent political class will be ready for the next conservative administration. Will we be ready for them?

3.) Conservatives aim to restructure U.S. government and replace it with Trump’s vision

Politics Aug 29, 2023 11:33 AM EDT

WASHINGTON (AP) — With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.

READ MORE: Fox News reaches 12.8 million viewers for GOP presidential debate, despite Trump's absence
Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president's second term — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024.

With a nearly 1,000-page "Project 2025" handbook and an "army" of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the "deep state" bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.

"We need to flood the zone with conservatives," said Paul Dans, director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project and a former Trump administration official who speaks with historical flourish about the undertaking.
"This is a clarion call to come to Washington," he said. "People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, 'This is my lifetime moment to serve.'"

The unprecedented effort is being orchestrated with dozens of right-flank organizations, many new to Washington, and represents a changed approach from conservatives, who traditionally have sought to limit the federal government by cutting federal taxes and slashing federal spending.

BONUS FACTS about the On-going coupe by white domestic terrorist in THIER OWN WORDS about the FACTS of domestic terrorism and their clear agenda for a dictatorship.

Yeah keep blaming everyone else.

I’ve told you all numerous times :

TROJAN HORSE

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections.

If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration. 

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.

P.S.

What Fascism Looks Like When it Comes into Power :

In 1979, when al-Bakr attempted to unite Iraq and Syria, in a move that would have left Saddam effectively powerless, Saddam forced al-Bakr to resign, and on July 16, 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq. Less than a week later, he called an assembly of the Ba'ath Party.”

“A coup does not always entail shooting, and it does not always mean a transfer of power. Sometimes, the perpetrators of a coup are already the leaders of a country, in firm control of the government and its entire security apparatus.

These leaders came to office legally (more or less) and may continue to command popular support (or at least a “base”). They launch a coup not to overthrow the government, but to throw off constraints on their own power”.
