Now We See Problems?

From Reuters:

The secretive U.S. government foreign investment review process that approved an Arab company’s deal to assume management of terminals at six U.S. ports is “deeply flawed” and should be revamped, a leading lawmaker said on Sunday.

Senate Homeland Security Chairman Susan Collins, a Maine Republican, said she and the panel’s top Democrat, Sen. Joseph Lieberman (news, bio, voting record) of Connecticut, will introduce legislation next week to overhaul the process and give the lead to the Department of Homeland Security.

I don’t think the problem is the program being just flawed. The problem lies much deeper. It lies within an administration that has gone unchecked for so long that they feel they can do whatever they want. They are like kids – if you let them continue to misbehave then they start believing it is ok.

This problem has been created by the Republican party. It doesn’t matter if the White House is the same party as the party which controls Congress. As matter of fact, yes it does. When the same party in the White House is the same that controls Congress then a need for greater oversight is a must. It puts the White House in a dangerous “comfort zone” because they don’t have to worry as much about being questioned. If current times teaches us anything its that party loyalty can be a devastating factor on a nation.
