WaPo is joking, right? The VA started getting decimated before it was even a cabinet-level agency. Thank you, Gramm-Rudman-Hollings and your mouthpiece, the Great Communicator. Had to have $$ for Iran-Contra, right? This is an ironic development: Until recently, the VA had been seen as a Washington success story. In the 1990s, reformers had cut back on its middle management and started using performance data so managers at the top could keep abreast of problems at the bottom.
