Since the DHS is in the news (as Congress yet again sets itself for egg on its face) Foreign Policy magazine published a pretty good article questioning if there is a need for the Department of Homeland Security at all.I don't know the answer- I do know that as a department it has a pretty well deserved reputation of spending money like a drunken saillor in the past which certainly undermines their credibility now. I don't agree with congress going to the "shutdown" well yet again in their on-going war with the President (I agree with their objection to Obama's Executive action- but by now one would think that they would have learned that shut downs are seriously counterproductive politically> Congress being Congress- they never seem to learn anything though so it seems like another "here we go again).
Maybe the article has a point and the real debate should be about whether or not we are better served/ more secure by having a behemoth Federal agency like DHS?
