Trump’s Veterans Affairs Secretary Doug Collins just made a major announcement regarding efficiency for American veterans.
His department, like all the others, is looking at their spending to try to figure out what kind of waste can be cut and they are conducting a thorough review of all the contracts the VA currently has in place.
After reviewing just two percent of the contracts, they have already cut $900 million dollars in wasteful spending. This is great news for veterans and their families.

VA Secretary Doug Collins: We Saved ‘Roughly $900 Million After Reviewing Just 2% of Contracts
The Department of Veterans Affairs has saved roughly $900 million after reviewing just two percent of its contracts, VA Secretary Doug Collins announced.
In a video posted to his official X account, Collins addressed those complaining about changes being made at Veterans Affairs and explained that no matter what, no changes will result in cuts to health care or benefits to veterans and VA beneficiaries.
“VA will always fulfill its duty to provide veterans, families, caregivers and survivors the health care and benefits they have earned. That’s a promise, and while we conduct our review, VA will continue to hire for more than 300,000 mission critical positions to ensure health care and benefits for VA beneficiaries are not impacted,” he said, discussing the department’s goal of reducing the number of VA employees…
“Here’s just one example. We’re conducting a comprehensive review of the VA’s 90,000 contracts, which are worth more than $67 billion,” she said, revealing that after reviewing just two percent of these Veterans Affairs contracts, they were able to cancel “nearly 600 non-mission critical or duplicative agreements that will save the department roughly $900 million.”

Anything that the Trump administration can do to improve the lives of American veterans and the services provided to them should be encouraged. Our veterans deserve the best but rarely get it.
