hire thousands of temporary workers to clear VA claims.They are backlogged until 2016. Adds to the economy in many ways.

VA claim processing is a statement of the value this Administration places on the Nation's veterans. President Obama has always stated that he supports our vets yet you all have allowed claim processing to fall to the lowest level possible. I have been waiting over 19 months now. Rachel Maddow is the only responsible reporter who has highlighted this horrible, atrocious record. Veterans hate this backlog and they will not vote for you regardless unless you deliver like you care about them. We all know why there is a backlog but that doesn't put food on the table or allow us to support our communities. Slim down in any department necessary or hire temps or contract the function out so we can see real progress in months and not years. Congress cannot and will not oppose you.
