Demand a job be done, underfund it, then point the finger of blame at others who try to cut corners to do a job the Congress isn't willing to pay to have done correctly.

Were the 'wait lists' a really bad, maybe even criminal idea? Sure. But if the VA had actually been properly funded, staffed, resourced, there would have been no wait lists, no reason for anyone to even try to create such.
