Talk is cheap. It's easy to be outraged at the Department of Veterans Affairs scandal, but if we want to give the VA the resources it needs to treat our veterans as they deserve, it's going to cost money -- tax money. Are people willing to pay it?
Wayne Karol, Levittown
Where were the senators, congressional representatives and state and local politicians in the districts where VA hospitals are located?
Veterans were pleading for help, and politicians did nothing, and they cut money from the budget. These are the real culprits.
Richard Perkins, Mount Sinai
