part of what we have to do is figure out what are realistic benchmarks for the system and my suspicion is that with not only all of the veterans from iraq and afghanistan coming back but also the ageing of our vietnam vets who may have more chronic illnesses and may need more visits. we may need to get more doctors and we may need to get more nurses. that's going to cost some money which means that's going to have to be reflected in a veterans affairs budget which i have consistently increased even during fiscally tight times there's been no area i put more priority than making sure that we're delivering the kind of budget that's necessary to ensure veterans are being served. it may still not be enough. we're going to -- before we start spending more money, our first job is let's take care of some basic management issues that i think can be fixed.
