That's congress. When they pass a budget for VA it's broken down, X amount for this and X amount for that. They cannot transfer those funds to anything else. So they have to spend the money they are given for grounds and buildings on grounds and buildings. If they don't use it all the next year when they may really need every penny they get cut. Just short sighted planning by the politicians. Happens with every government agency. I witnessed unused building being renovated because the Army had to spend money more than once.

Heck, the Army authorized us 28,000 per tank to get our tanks in great shape to turn them over to the TX national guard when we went from the M60A3 to the M1.

As soon as the last tank was turned in the Army snagged the excess back. Then the TX Nation Guard refused to accept the tanks. So they were sent to depot level rebuild and then went to TX. And at the end of the fiscal year the Army was dumping money into parts and maintenance to burn up that part of the budget.
