Yeah, while I'm sure a good deal of the public feels repugnance toward DHS, anyone short of a much-needed cowboy like Rand Paul ain't shutting down this abomination. More government is all the rage nowadays, haven't you noticed?
- betterunix 13y agoI doubt that the majority of Americans feel repugnance toward the DHS. Most people I have met seem to believe that the DHS is important to keep us and our children safe from terrorists. Most people fall victim to the classic "something must be done, this is something, and therefore it must be done" fallacy.
- Dirlewanger 13y agoSorry, when I wrote that I was thinking the TSA. Forgot that the DHS is more of a shell organization.
- tsotha 13y agoRand Paul couldn't do it either, any more than Reagan could shut down the Dept. of Education. It has to be done in Congress, and there's no appetite for shutting down anything, ever, in Congress. The reason we have fourteen separate agencies with intelligence operations is as they lose the trust of elected leaders new ones are created, leaving the old ones intact.
