Senate Democrats block bill to give Eric Shinseki more power to fire at Veterans Affairs
Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a bill designed to give Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki more leeway to fire senior department executives he believes are responsible for long wait times and care problems at VA medical facilities.
The bill, which passed the House a day earlier on a bipartisan vote, was blocked by Democrats who said it was premature to call for firings, and that while problems in the department extend back for years, most veterans find the VA provides good care.
Premature to call for firings?! These are the same folks who call for the immediate firing and media lynching of anyone who doesn't spout their politically-correct party line. But let's take our time with consequences for the deaths of 40 vets?!
After the Democrat senators finish writing the NFL to change the Redskins name, they can get around to seeing if asleep at the switch VA big bosses should feel some heat after letting vets needing medical care languish and die.
