@mattklewis He of all people should be moving heaven and earth. That is why the VA's lethargy is so stunning.
@HazelwoodDan Theory: If anyone cares/understand this, it's Shinseki. That he can't fix it shows the pervasiveness of the disfunction.
@mattklewis throwing in the towel is not acceptable. That justifies bureaucratic inaction. Minimum we need a plan to move forward.
@HazelwoodDan I'm arguing we need a massive overhaul, modernization & rethinking of the V.A. (But no scapegoating Shinseki to score points.)
@mattklewis massive overhaul yes. Takes leadership. Where is leadership? It appears absent.
@HazelwoodDan Nobody has more incentive to fix this than the guy we got. My worry is we get rid of him & say, "problem solved, next issue."
