Unaccounted: The VA's $15 Billion Funding Failure

This week on the Richard Leonard Show talks about The disconnect between what the government says about caring for veterans—and what it actually funds. And discussed the Independent Budget, a detailed, data-driven proposal submitted annually to Congress by veteran organizations (DAV, PVA, VFW), based on real needs from the front lines. Despite this, Congress repeatedly underfunds the VA by billions—$15 billion short in 2024 alone—favoring political agendas over practical veteran care. Richard questions why critical areas like mental health, suicide prevention, and crumbling VA facilities are left behind while insiders and contractors benefit.
