Since 2020, the number of employees at the Education Services at VA's headquarters in D.C. has nearly doubled, growing from 102 to 185 in 2024. So I'm going to say it again. The headquarters staff has nearly doubled, but the actual budget has only increased by. It went from $1.5 billion to $12.1 billion. And that is a tremendous amount of money. So if we're spending all this money and we're increasing the bureaucracy and not sending that to veterans benefits, that is a problem. (03:18–03:31)
