It’s Veterans Day in America, a day set aside to honor every veteran.
Taking care of our veterans is a sacred duty. In President Abraham Lincoln’s second inaugural address, he resolved our nation to “care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan.” Lincoln’s statement has carried through the generations and led to the establishment of the Veterans Administration nearly 100 years ago.Veterans should have the best medical care in this country, but at times, they have had some of the worst.
When President Donald Trump came into office, Congress passed, on a bipartisan basis, a bill called the VA Accountability and Whistleblower Protection Act. This federal law gave the VA the power to fire employees for cause, including for poor performance or grievous misconduct. This led to the firing of more than 5,000 VA employees who weren’t doing their jobs.
But now, this effective, commonsense law passed by Congress is being undermined by the Biden administration. This is a disaster for the taxpayer and for our veterans. It puts all of the gains made since 2017 in jeopardy. The VA’s new culture of accountability will be gone. Veterans will undoubtedly receive lower-quality care.
