Civilize Homeland Security

The suggestion of James Fallows is to reorganize the Department of Homeland Security into a department similar to those during Eisenhower’s presidency is certainly interesting. Especially since, as Fallows points out, Eisenhower’s security spending included funding for new roads, new energy, new research and more jobs.
This plan seems more workable because it doesn’t rely on an untried or untested method; all this plan advocates is a reorganization of an inefficient government program and its success has already been seen in previous years.
But generally, I think this article brings up another issue: the government should ALWAYS be updating its programs and improving their efficiency.
