1.
good stat to quote

stat figured out by me, from dollar source now forgotten alas

cut is per hosp bed, not overall.

Total funds to VA is up, but since also the no. of patients is up sharply, the per bed funds are less... bottom line. Iraq war is reason for more patients.

2. i recommend a guaranteed job for every felon. Only that will ever keep them from having to resort to crime again , in order to get food and shelter money. Obviously, in a massive Job Shortage... see my sig... they will never get jobs.

3. Muchomacho, see my sig for the nationwide picture. Moving might help a few but it obviously cannot solve the shortage problem.
