now for the truth:
One of the most sacred responsibilities of Commander-in-Chief is to honor America’s obligations to our veterans. President Obama has had nearly four years to fix endemic problems with the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Unfortunately, mismanagement on the part of the Obama Administration has led to serious shortcomings in veterans’ care. In addition to the President’s massive defense cuts –which could force 200,000 troops out of uniform and onto an overburdened VA—the backlog of disability claims has doubled, veteran unemployment is at unacceptable levels, there are critical problems with GI Bill payouts, and the wait time to see a mental health care provider can be up to two months long. In his last budget, the President asked military members and veterans to take $12 billion more in out-of-pocket TRICARE payments while he exploded spending elsewhere in the budget.
Mitt Romney believes we must do better. To ensure the VA lives up to its noble motto, “to care for him who shall have borne the battle,” Mitt will institute reforms to the VA aimed at unclogging bureaucratic inefficiencies and mismanagement. He will hold VA leaders accountable for poor performance. His economic reforms could create up to 12 million new jobs, ensuring veterans have the dignity of a job. And he will reverse President Obama’s massive defense cuts, that could cripple our Armed Forces, overwhelm the VA, and have a dire impact on our economy and our national security.
To date, Governor Romney has received the endorsement of nearly 30 American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars National Commanders, an overwhelming show of support from the highest ranks of America’s veterans community.
