It seems, though, that we're getting used to replacing things that are dysfunctional instead of repairing them. I worry that the same problems that we have seen recently with FEMA could be present in DHS. Can you imagine that level of inability we saw from FEMA for Katrina during a "terrorist" attack?
I'd like to concentrate on fixing FEMA, the Coast Guard, etc. And make sure that interdepartmental communications are effective. Centralization, while seeming smart in making things more efficient, allows for consolidation of power.
