Bad Decisions!
An example of a ‘poorly thought out’ decision by an administration, or government agency, that can plague you, or society as a whole, for years to come, or maybe forever, was the ‘return’ of the Panama Canal to Panama! To start with, there was no nation of Panama, the locality the Canal was built on belonged to Colombia! ‘Panama’ was ‘created’ by Teddy Roosevelt for the sole purpose of building the Canal. That very bad idea to return the Canal to Panama was the legacy of Jimmy Carter, and took another career politician down with him, Senator Frank Church, a very decent man, whom I knew personally on a casual basis. Senator Church, after a long career of ‘fair and just’ positions, got ‘sucked’ into supporting the Canal deal.
Have a nice day!
