Fired 9000 (from a previous interview)
I signed the VA Accountability Act into law, and we’ve removed more than 9,000 VA workers who were not giving our veterans the care, respect, attention that they’ve earned. And now that we have Accountability — it’s “Accountability”; a very nice word — if an employee of government mistreats our veterans in any way, does something wrong, isn’t good for the VA, the Secretary looks at them and says, “You’re fired. Get out.”
Before, you couldn’t do that. We had people for years and years. We had stories — I could tell you story after story how bad it was. You had sadists. You had thieves. You had some bad, bad people. So 9,000 have been fired, and they should have been fired a long time ago. But we got Accountability — VA Accountability — passed.
