U.S. Ports Should Be Managed By U.S. Companies

Politics - Opinion

By Scott McLean

Americans deserve to find out why the Dubai ports deal was made in the first place, and therefore Congress should continue its investigation.

Moreover, Congress should come up with legislation that would provide incentives to make management of U.S. ports more attractive to U.S. companies.

Foreign companies should not be managing U.S. ports. PERIOD.

If that is called discrimination, fine. Protecting America is the bottom line. Who cares what the rest of the world says.

American lives are far more important than business deals.

Here is the most important question, though I may be one of the first to ask it:

Why is America fighting a war that is causing so many deaths of our young people as well as creating an immense national deficit when the government's plan for ports appears to be left to chance?
