Stupid Congress

I can't believe this actually happened. Our congress is the biggest bunch of protectionists ever, it seems. That sucks for America. We should be standing in front of the pack, waving the free-market flag...cause that is what is going to benefit us the most.

I've already given my opinion about the port deal...I think it should go through, with maybe a little bit of extra security protection (we actually need to step that up anyway). But we should never have allowed the congress to impede the UAE takover of port managements...there is just no reason to be extra concerned. Britain has done more and worse things to us in the past than the UAE...why should we be concerned when the security arrangements won't even change? But whatever...

The final word on this issue is that the Congress needed to sit down and shut up, and let the free market do its thing. When they tried to stop the legal deal from proceding, they made everyone in the world afraid to invest in America. Socialist countries do things like this...not capitalist, democratic countries like I thought we were...

Oh Well...
