VA Abuse

The VA investigation turned out to be systematic abuse with at least one higer level eschelon executive taking a six month paid leave. What do people think about our lawmakers writing laws to protect the tax payer from waste so that people who take advantage of the system get charged minimally with theft, or misappropriation, if not treason in the VA case? It seems like there are a lot of laws written for the average citizen but these people in higher government jobs that take advantage of the taxpayer never get prosecuted.
I for one certainly never hear about any of them being held accountable in any way for their waste even when it is for personal gain. It seems like we need some additional laws for the lawmakers to hold them more accountable.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on the issue?
